Michael Eppelstun

Michael Eppelstun, known as Eppo, is an Australian professional bodyboarder who won the bodyboarding world championship in 1993. With that title he became the first Australian and the first non-Hawaiian to hold the world title in the sport. Eppelstun is also credited with helping to develop two new moves that pushed bodyboarding toward a more gymnastic style of riding: the Air Roll Spin, which came first, and the Blackflip, which followed shortly afterwards. The English Wikipedia article on him is short and gives no birth date, so his age and later career are not recorded here.
