Timeline
Skip Frye (born Harry Richard Frye; September 7, 1941 in San Diego, California) is an American surfer, surfboard designer and shaper, and environmental activist.
Frye attended Mission Bay High School and began his professional surfing career in 1958.
Frye married his first wife, Marcia Metcalf, in 1963.
Together, they raised their three children (Lauren - from a previous marriage, Donald - from a previous marriage, and Braden) before divorcing.
He captured national titles and represented the United States team internationally in 1966.
He rode professionally for G&S surfboards and eventually created his own model for them in 1967.
Frye has appeared on many magazine covers including Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (1969, with model Jamee Becker), The Surfer's Journal, Surfing, and Surfer Magazine.
Frye is known for his gliding, fluid style as well as creating some of the most in-demand surfboards in the world.
He is perhaps, best recognized by his iconic logo, a set of wings commonly referred to as "Frye Wings."
After hitting a rough financial patch in the 70s, he started signing his wings in pencil because he could't afford laminates.
This is referred to as his "ghetto days", when he shaped surfboards behind Select Surf Shop in Pacific Beach.
Iconic images of him surfing with his dog, silhouetted against a setting sun, and paddling alone into "The Ranch" have appeared in books and magazines and have been printed on clothing and surfboards.
Frye is also known for his innovation with foiled surfboard fins.
After a surfing trip to Australia in 1969, he developed his trademark board shapes: the Egg, the Fish, and specialized longboard shapes.
He has developed a moderate temperature surf wax ("Man Wax"), ideal for his native San Diego waters.
In 1990, Frye married his long-time girlfriend Donna Frye (née Sarvis), and they started Harry's Surf Shop with Harry "Hank" Warner.
They founded Surfers Tired of Pollution in the mid 1990s and are both public supporters of clean water and the environment.
His wife was elected as a San Diego City Councilmember in 2001 and narrowly lost the San Diego mayoral election in 2005.
Frye is a 2006 inductee into the Surfboard Shapers Hall of Fame in Huntington Beach, California in the surf pioneer category.
Her term ended on December 6, 2010.
