The 81-year-old gets the Honor Roll nod for the Huntington Beach display.
In 1966, footage of Mike Hynson walking atop his longboard debuted in theaters across the world. Alongside Robert August and filmmaker Bruce Brown, Hynson’s globe-trotting in The Endless Summer helped establish a precedent of surf exploration that lasted nearly 60 years later.
In a few months, the San Diego surfer and shaper will enjoy a different kind of trek when he becomes inducted into Huntington Beach’s Surfing Walk of Fame, according to the La Jolla Light.
