Pottz is one of the forefathers of the modern, aggressive and progressive style of surfing. He influenced a whole generation of surfers including guys like: Matt Archbold, Christian Fletcher and Kelly Slater. Our man in Taranaki, Arch interviews surfing legend Martin Potter on 'Out The Back' surf show.

Martin Potter: Nicknamed "Pottz" and "Eggy Potter", Martin is a British born surfer who was educated in Durban, South Africa. Considered the best "free-surfer" of his generation, Potz displayed immense talent, but lacked the consistency in the era of 25-plus event tours. He forever silenced the critics in 1989 by winning the world title. Pottz redefined competitive surfing by performing risky aerials moves and helped lead the way for a new form of competitive surfing which is now standard on the pro tour.
