Lynne Boyer

Aquatic Sports

Lynne Boyer is an American surfer who won two world surfing championships, in 1978 and 1979. Her titles came in consecutive years, and the second made her the first woman ever to win the championship twice. She was inducted into the Surfing Walk of Fame in Huntington Beach, California, in 2008 and was named that year's Woman of the Year by the honour. After her competitive surfing career ended she turned to painting. The record kept here follows her English Wikipedia article, which gives the two titles, the Walk of Fame honour and her later painting, without a birth date.
