Waverider is pleased to offer our guests and members the chance to surf with the legendary Robert ''Wingnut'' Weaver as a traveling surf guide. Wingnut rose to fame as the longboard surf star in the feature film Endless Summer II – the 1994 Bruce Brown film which traveled to many of the locations that Waverider now offers. Wingnut rode a longboard when it wasn’t cool, but he made it look cool and he has continued his dedication to surf travel to become one of the premier surf explorers in the world.
Since Endless Summer II, Wingnut has stayed involved with the surf industry, consulting for companies, competing, traveling, rubbing elbows with movie stars and using his mellifluous speaking voice to promote the sport of surfing. Wingnut has done voiceovers with Ira Opper on "The Surfer's Journal's 50 Years of Surfing" and the "Great Waves" television and video series. He also appeared in Opper's "Wingnut's Search for Soul," "The Art of Longboarding" and numerous other surf videos and productions. He has parlayed his big-screen success to serve as the surf instructor to the stars, showing the likes of Ted Danson and Nicholas Cage how to ride the waves.
He’s funny, he’s cool, he rips and he’s a scratch golfer (not!). Wingnut will efficiently guide you into some of the best waves of your life. Ask our Guest Program Manager about booking Wingnut to accompany you on your next Waverider trip!
