Old School :
Robby Naish - King of Old School. Sorry but board-offs came later and lost popularity quickly for a reason.
Lou Wainman - sure he could do the handle passes, but he could also go big. Did everything with style and still does.
Marcus "Flash" Austin he still goes big.
Adam Koch - yeah he races now, but his style is so smooth.
Chasta - he has cat-like reflexes.
Two local riders from my hometown - Jacob Buzianas and Billy Bordy - both have a smooth flowing style and love big airs.

May I suggest to add some of the top wave riders.
Mitu Monteiro - yeah he's a wave rider (like Robby), "but his style is so smooth". He can do anything.
Question: Is there something such as "strapless old school"?

Can't believe no one has mentioned Chris Calthrop K48, wet noses
. The guy that got me interested in the sport back in 1999. Has anyone else ever dropped in at Jaws on a matress ? But like other have mentioned Flash, Frans, Lou and the pioneers Laird, Manu and Legaignoux brothers ?

Tobby,
Here in Chile, in 2010, we had a Old School National Contest, part of the Kite Tour 2010.
The Winner, Ariel B, is a very talented Old School rider !
You should consider him too ! (North rider !)
