Martin Potter (born October 28, 1965,) nicknamed "Potz" and "Eggy Potter", is a British born surfing professional who was educated in Durban, South Africa. He began surfing off the beaches of hometown Durban at age 10. He won the Association of Surfing Professionals World Championship Tour, and therefore the title of "World Surfing Champion," fourteen years later, in 1989. 'Pottz' redefined competitive surfing through performing risky moves such as arials which were previously only in the domain of free surfing. He lead the way for a new form of competitive 'risky surfing' which is now a standard on the ASP tour. In addition to South Africa, Potter once resided in Australia on Sydney's northern beaches, and now lives in southwestern France. [1]
