The surfing world lost a great earlier this week with the passing of Greg Noll, a pioneer of big-wave surfing in Hawaii. Noll was 84. Known as Da Bull, throughout his lifetime, he attained legendary status as a leader of the big-wave scene on the North Shore, being among the first to ride in legendary spots like Waimea and Pipeline and setting early records for largest wave ever surfed. He was a regular in surf flicks like Endless Summer and other documentaries and appeared as a surfing stunt double in Hollywood films. Noll also founded Noll Surfboards, a manufacturer in Hermosa Beach, California now run by his son Jed in San Clemente.
