Buzzy Kerbox

According to the 1983 book on male models titled "Not Just Another Pretty Face," Buzzy was born in Indiana but moved with his family to Hawaii when he was 9 years old. He quickly took to surfing and in 1978 won the World Cup surfing title. A photographer spotted his picture in a surfing magazine and invited him to come to New York for a Vogue Magazine fashion shoot.

Soon Ralph Lauren signed him to an exclusive contract to model Lauren's clothes but Buzzy continued to travel the world to follow his interest in surfing.
