Fearless 1970s Pipeline specialist from Hawaii. Dunn was born (1957) in Newport Beach, California, won the 11-year-old division of the 1967 Menehune contest in La Jolla, and two years later moved with his mother to Maui. He was featured in a 1970 

 magazine article titled "Jack is Nimble, Jack is Quick," which showed the white-blond 13-year-old goofyfooter ripping Rocky Point and dropping into double-overhead waves at Honolua Bay.

The '70s would be Gerry Lopez's decade as reigning king of Pipeline, but Dunn, along with Rory Russell, was right there in the vanguard—Dunn was sometimes referred to as the "Prince of Pipeline." He competed at times, finished third in the 1975 Pipeline Masters, but is best remembered for his arms-spread do-or-die approach to free-surf sessions.

One of the most photogenic surfers of the age, Dunn appeared five times on the cover of 

 magazine between 1971 and 1980, and was featured in nearly a dozen surf movies, including 

 (1977). He also did stunt-double surfing for Warner Brothers' 1978 surf movie
