This lineup of surfers is remarkably diverse...
From Left to right: Fred Hemmings, unidentified (probably George Downing...who else would get Dora's attention?), Mickey Dora, Paul Strauch, Eddie Aikau, Ricky Grigg, Corky Carroll, Jock Sutherland, with Mike Doyle waxing up in the front. These were the finalists. Bob McTavish, the contestant of note from our perspective, had been eliminated earlier...but only after changing surfing forever in the process.
In the face of today's totally homogenized contest rosters, this is amazing. (Any pic with Dora and Corky in the same place at the same time is amazing!)
