Played by legendary surfer Gerry Lopez. I have no idea how he got cast in this, but it's perfect.
Pretty sure that was John Milius' doing. Milius was a big surfing fan-- he, of course, made the noted surfing movie Big Wednesday four years earlier, and was responsible for the whole surfing portion of Apocalypse Now.

According to Milius, many of the roles were given to novice actors because their appearances and personalities lined up with the parts. The director cast his long-time surfing buddy Gerry Lopez as Subotai the thief. "I remember when I was casting for this role, all the people who came in looked like Gerry," says Milius on the DVD commentary. "So I thought why not just get Gerry?"
