Breakwall is where a 14-year-old Browning confronted his fear of big waves. It’s where he established himself as a member of surfing’s Momentum Generation, commemorated in the early ‘90s, groundbreaking Taylor Steele surf videos. Browning would follow Steele into a career as surf film maker. Browning’s credits include his own Drive Thru surf travelogs for Fuel TV and Fox Cable, and the Jamie O’Brien YouTube videos for Red Bull.

Hawaiian pro surfer David Nuuhiwa will also be inducted this year. Greg Browning’s signature front-side snap, 1990, Puerto Escondido, Mexico. Photo by Mike Balzer “The best seat in the house at…
