including shaping, sanding, air brushing
and glassing. I won an American
East Coast title and a United States
title on that surfboard, that’s why I
donated it to the museum.”

in Cocoa Beach, Florida, today.
By the early 1970s, Allison was
charging the massive waves on the
North Shore of Hawaii. He is the
first North Carolinian to surf on the
World Surfing Team and holds two
United States Surfing Championship
titles. During the years, he won 12
first place titles at the East Coast
Surfing Championships and Eastern
Surfing Championships.
Allison dedicated 13 years to judging
professional surfing competitions
— a serious business of rules, divisions,
heats, timing, boundaries, wave
count, advancement, interference and
scoring. By 1982, the Association of
Surfing Professionals recruited Allison
as a professional judge. He helped
determine the outcome of numerous
major events, as the professional
surfing circuit elevated to national
attention. When grace was under fire,
others depended on Allison to express
the correct judgment.
“The competition that I was
involved in when I was younger was
great because we had a lot of great
times and forged lifetime friendships
all over the world. Those friendships
are the most priceless things that
ever happened to me,” Allison says.
“Today, I devote my time to my family
and the mastery of my craft.”
Allison has sustained success, with
a 35-year journey as an entrepreneur
and expert craftsman. He continues
to shape his coveted line of surfboards,
considered functional art, and
is often credited for creating a cottage
industry in Wrightsville Beach. A
southern gentleman to the core, this
waterman’s passions run deep. To
Allison, surfing isn’t just the major
league, it’s the only league.
He says, “Surfing keeps me healthy,
it’s fun and it makes me happy. I love
getting in the water.”
