Randy Laine, born Elliott Randolph Laine on 17 July 1952 in North Carolina, is an American big-wave surfer and a co-pioneer of tow-in surfing who is also regarded as one of the best professional freestyle jet skiers. Nicknamed the Father of Freeride, he was announced for induction into the International Jet Sports Boating Association Hall of Fame in 2008 for inventing many of the aerial maneuvers used in freestyle jet ski competition. In January 2001, on the first documented expedition to the Cortes Bank, he set a world record for the biggest wave ridden on a jet ski, a 72-foot wave on a Yamaha SuperJet, and from 2002 he served as marine coordinator for the Billabong Odyssey. He is the brother of surfer Wes Laine and lives mainly in San Diego.
