Bunker Spreckels (born Adolph Bernard Spreckels III; August 15, 1949 – January 7, 1977) was an American surfer and an early pioneer of a surfboard design.

He was the great-grandson of German-born sugar baron Claus Spreckels and was heir to the Spreckels Sugar fortune.[1] Spreckels became the stepson of Clark Gable when his mother married the actor.[2]

Spreckels met surf photographer Art Brewer in 1969 at the surf spot known as Banzai Pipeline while Brewer was on a three-month photo shoot for Surfer magazine.[2]

Early life

Spreckels was born in Los Angeles County, California. His mother was Kay Spreckels (née Kathleen Williams), a former fashion model and actress. His father was sugar-refining heir Adolph Bernard Spreckels, Jr. Clark Gable was his stepfather, and his great-grandfather was Claus Spreckels, who came to America from Germany as Claus von Spreckelson.[1]

Later years

Bunker inherited his family fortune on his 21st birthday.[1]

Death

Bunker died of a morphine overdose on January 7, 1977, at the age of 27.[3]

He was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.[4]
