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. If it had been anyone else in that situation, he would have died." One day Greg Noll gave up his reputation, his business and his lifestyle and disappeared into the Alaskan wilderness. He later reappeared in Northern California as skipper of a sixty-five foot steel hulled commercial fishing vessel. In his mind, he never "quit" surfing: "Surfing is a feeling that never leaves you. I’m still part of the ocean. I just turned my attention to other challenges." Noll challenges anyone who wants to know what the life of a big wave surfer is really like to "get a board and paddle out there, point your board down the face of a grinder and make a commitment. That’s where you find the truth." [From the jacket cover - Da Bull-Life Over the Edge] Greg still lives in Northern California, but travels all over the world. He’s making boards again. really beautiful replicas and originals. There’s no comparison. Greg Noll. Greg Noll (born February 11, 1937), nicknamed "Da Bull" by Phil Edwards in reference to his physique and way of "charging" down the face of a wave, [1] is an American pioneer of big wave surfing [2] and is also acknowledged as a prominent longboard shaper. [3] Noll was a member of a US lifeguard team that introduced malibu boards to Australia around the time of the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games. [2] Noll also produced a "legendary" [4] series of 5 [5] Search for Surf movies. Contents. Early life. Noll was born in San Diego, California. At the age of 3, Noll moved with his family to Manhattan Beach, California. Noll began surfing age 11 [1] in the South Bay, Los Angeles, he was a member of Manhattan Beach Surf Club where he learned board shaping from Dale Velzy. Noll was a member of the Los Angeles County Lifeguards and competed in paddleboarding. [2] Noll developed his big wave surfing in Palos Verdes at breaks like Lunada Bay. He moved to Hawaii in 1954, where he finished high school, and lived and surfed at Mākaha, Hawaii. [1] Big waves. Noll became known for his exploits in large Hawaiian surf on the North Shore of Oahu. He first gained a reputation in November 1957 after surfing Waimea Bay [6] in 25–30 ft surf when it had previously been thought impossible even to the local Hawaiians. He is perhaps best known for being the first surfer to ride a wave breaking on the outside reef at the so-called Banzai Pipeline in November 1964. The wave I caught at Outside Pipeline that day walled up twenty-five-feet high about half a mile in front of me. It broke to the left, so I was riding with my back to the wave, goofyfoot, and it was a god-awful uneasy feeling. Instead of getting smaller as I rode it, the sonofabitch grew on me. It got bigger and bigger, and I started going faster and faster, until I was absolutely locked into it. I felt like I was on a spaceship racing into a void. At first, I could hear my board chattering across the face of the wave in a constant rhythm. As my speed increased, the chattering noise became less frequent. Suddenly there was no noise. For about fifteen or twenty feet, I was airborne. Then I literally was blown off my board. It was later at Makaha, in December 1969, that he rode what many at the time believed to be the largest wave ever surfed. After that wave and the ensuing wipeout during the course of that spectacular ride down the face of a massive dark wall of water, his surfing tapered off and he closed his Hermosa Beach shop in the early 1970s. He and other surfers such as Pat Curren, Mike Stang, Buzzy Trent, George Downing, Mickey Munoz, Wally Froyseth, Fred Van Dyke and Peter Cole are viewed as the most daring surfers of their generation. Noll is readily identified in film footage while surfing by his now iconic black and white horizontally striped "jailhouse" boardshorts. The surfing exploits of Noll and other big wave legends were chronicled in the documentary Riding Giants . Noll (with Laird Hamilton and Jeff Clark) also provides his entertaining perspective on Hawaiian big wave surfing that is indexed as a commentary track found in the Riding Giants DVD. Board shaping. Having shaped surfboards since his youth, and having founded his own surfboard business in the 1950s which reached a high level of commercial success; [5] Noll changed to two decades of commercial fishing, [1] the resurgence of longboards brought Noll back to resume shaping and organize events. [2] Today Noll lives in Hiouchi, California with his wife and shapes re-creations of some of the historic boards from the sport of surfing. Some of these are: Olos and Alaias, a replica of a Duke Kahanamoku board, Malibu Chips, Guns, Da Cats, Pacific System Homes and others. Da Bull: Live Over the Edge by Gregg Noll. Written by Greg Noll and Andrea Gabbard. From learning to surf at age 11 in Manhattan Beach, to "The Biggest Wave Ever Ridden", to major board production, to now. Read about it straight from "Da Bull's" mouth as well as the mouths of other "legends" such as Velzy, Dora, and more. Greg Noll/The Art of the Surfboard, by Drew Kampion. Beautifully written and illustrated, this book ". zeros in on Greg Noll and the art of surfboard craftsmanship, and does so with savvy and good humor." ---Honolulu Star Bulletin, 3/07. Da Bull: Life Over the Edge. Pioneer big-wave surfer, Greg Noll, was called Da Bull by his fellow surfers for his stubborn, straightforward, and aggressive approach to the sport.

South Bay History. The Daily Breeze's Sam Gnerre looks at the way we were in the South Bay. Greg Noll’s legendary surfing exploits began in the South Bay. Ten athletes, coaches and a broadcaster were inducted into San Pedro’s Sportswalk To The Waterfront in 2009. Inductee and former big wave surfer Greg Noll has a laugh at the start of the event. (Daily Breeze staff photo by Scott Varley) When Greg Noll, then 66, spoke at his induction into the inaugural class of Hermosa Beach’s Surfers Walk of Fame in 2003, he observed how strange it was to be honored for spending his life doing what he loved.

Although the act of riding a wave started as a religious/cultural tradition, surfing rapidly transformed into a global water sport. The popularity of surfing is the result of events, innovations, influential people (http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/9754­the­most­influential­people­to­ the­birth­of­surfing), and technological developments. Early surfers had to challenge the power of the oceans with heavy, finless surfboards. Today, surfing has evolved into a high­tech extreme sport, in which hydrodynamics and materials play vital roles. Surfboard craftsmen have improved their techniques; wave riders have bettered their skills. The present and future of surfing can only be understood if we look back at its glorious past. From the rudimentary "caballitos de totora" to computerized shaping machines, there's an incredible trunk full of memories, culture, achievements and inventions to be rifled through.

    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.
