    Lorrin “Whitey” Harrison: California Pioneer Surfer of the 1930’s The Doheny Years Malcolm Gault-Williams [If you were to look up the definition of “waterman”, Whitey Harrison’s picture would be next to it. Born in California, a stowaway on a ship to the Hawaiian Islands, a surfer, diver, outrigger paddler, fisherman, an innovator or boards and outriggers, a man who loved the sea and all its blessings. The follow is an except from a full biography of the legendary Lorrin “Whitey” Harrison by Malcolm Gault-Williams. This portion of Whitey’s story focuses on his years living in Dana Point and around his beloved Doheny Beach. Whitey was a true California waterman and a man DSBIA can be proud to honor as Doheny Legends. Ed] Dana Point, 1930s "When I was in Hawaii," retold Whitey, "I was paddling canoes all the time... When I came back from Hawai`i with my first wife, we lived in Dana Point. I started fishing commercial, and then I got a motorcycle and rode it all the way to Los Angeles to work at Pacific Redi-cut Systems Homes for a summer." Pacific Redi-cut Homes was the first company to produce commercial surfboards. "Tulie Clark and Carroll 'Laholio' Bertolet worked there too. Quite a few surfers worked there, this was about 1931. We were shipping sixty boards a month to Hawaii... There was this guy there named 'Dutch' that was notching these swastika symbols in some of the boards, and he couldn't speak a word of English. They called these 'swastika boards.' He'd mix glue and we'd glue up the blanks.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Da Bull Live Over the Edge by Gregg Noll Da Bull: Live Over the Edge by Gregg Noll. Pioneer big-wave surfer, Greg Noll, was called Da Bull by his fellow surfers for his stubborn, straightforward and aggressive approach to the sport. His approach to life in general wasn’t much different. His life revolved around surfing and everything the sport engendered. He made surfboards and surf films. He pioneered modern surfing in Australia. He discovered Mazatlan as a surf spot. He as the first to ride the fear-some waves at Waimea Bay and Outside Pipeline on Oahu’s North Shore. He brawled and caroused with men, charmed and entertained women.Above all, he was Da Bull, one of the bravest and best of the big wave riders of his or anyone’s era. Part of Greg Noll’s motivation for riding big surf came from the camaraderie he enjoyed with his elite and rowdy peers. The other part came from with: "I just wanted to ride a bigger wave than anybody. I wanted to do something none of the other guys could or would do." One day in December 1969, he did just that when a storm from the Aleutians drove monstrous swells onto the shores of Oahu and created a day like no other at Makaha Point. There, Greg Noll met the wave that had beckoned but eluded him for twenty years. Hawaii State Senator and former World Surfing Champion, Fred Hemmings, was out in the water at Makaha that same day. Afterward, he described Greg Noll’s experience as "a death-wish wave.
