Mickey Dora: The Dark Prince of Malibu

Mickey Dora, a surfer known for his style and rebellious spirit, ruled over Malibu in the 1950s to 1970s. Despite his grace and fame, Dora was also a con man who led the FBI on a seven-year manhunt. His influence on surfing culture, though idolized by many, revealed a dark side of exclusion, racism, and xenophobia. Additionally, Dora's criminal activities included credit card fraud, fake plane tickets, and stolen property.
