Greg Noll, the most mythic of big wave surfers called "Da Bull," a surfing legend that rode to fame in the halcyon days of the 1950s and 60s. Iconic in his jailhouse trunks, he stared down fear, achieved the impossible and became the benchmark for busting the limits.

Greg is the real deal. Humble, a super nice guy, fearless, and zero crap. Hats off to Billabong for putting this together. Mahalo, Greg!!!!
RIP, Bull. You will never be forgotten.
What a legend who made a certain period of time a legend. He will be missed.
He made my first board, a balsa hollow center, out of his garage. I had to scrape for the $25.00 so working at Stan's Liquor and washing dishes at some greasy spoon in Hermosa Beach I finally got my board. I was also in the Coast Guard with Greg. I liked the guy from the start as he took no shit from anyone but would give you the shirt off his back. Sure would like to see the BULL again!!!!!

Lawrence J I remember his shop on PCH and Pier Ave.
yea, agreed! Thanks Greg for this, and thanks Billabong for stitchin it together and putting it up here for us. My old dad somehow met/had dealings with Greg Noll, and he is a New Zealander! Used to RAVE about Greg, back in the day. What a character, what a personality, man...
I Love Greg Knoll what a Legend he is in our sport of Kings. Thank You Mr Noll for contributing so much to Surfing. Much Mahalo ,
I love and appreciate that Greg speaks like a regular person. No pretense. Just effortless cool (because it’s real, not a put on)
RIP Greg 'Da Bull' Noll. Much respect
Rip greg. I'll always remember you as my childhood friends grandpa, but learned later on you were so much more than that. What a humble guy you were.
RIP Bull. Love his attitude, ability and accomplishments!
Started in 62, bought all the mags, and he was one of my heroes!!!
I have seen this video so many times it's crazy and it never gets old. So cool.
What a guy who speaks the truth!...had a huge poster of Noll surfing Waimea on my wall as a kid and it was always a thing to dream about!
This guy is my hero. Straight up.
R.I.P. definition of a legend.
best video on youtube, so much respect and inspiration from this surfing legend.
RIP Greg Noll. Told it like it was. Absolute surfing legend.
Great life philosophy, definitely I’m up to it!
R.I.P. to "The Bull," Greg Noll !
A board, a pair of shorts, a bar of wax AND pair of XL balls!
Greg was a gentle giant and icon! I had the honor of him making me my very first new surfboard at his Hermosa Beach shop. Every time I would surf Hermosa, I would stop by Greg’s shop to say hello. He will be missed…😢
RIP legend 🙏🏼🤙🏼
The Godfather of surfing!!
RIP Bull.

Beautiful, Gregg, loved it, come down to the Osa, Costa Rica sometime. Cap'n Lee, Carate Jungle Camp

I went to Pier Avenue Elementary School in Hermosa Beach..your shop was directly across street of Pacific Coast Hiway....so it goes!
Rip legend
I got the only surfboard; a new East Coast Noll Rider, single stringer, foam. I surfed East Coast storm surf, a lot. I grew up on an all white sand island 3 miles out since young. It's quiet inside the tubes. The blue~green room with golden sunlight flowing through it. There's cautions. Karate stance/ward-off the board makes good practice sense for storm or not storm on a longboard. Deep downward diaphragmatic breathing practice. Better nutrition to be not "tired eyes drown on land" for any athlete. And from the start know about UnderTow-Rip and Drag, which you can study from the first time you get concerned surprised when the waist high water gets you feeling like your legs are caught in Quicksand. Then make an honest decision about that cool feeling about the Biggie Boomers Pipes; by taking many times to look and decide about staying alive before going in. Surfers lift water Seadoo can be good, because even though you build lots of knowledge and strength paddling out: whether it's Chopped or not, you get to conserve your condition by a lift out; to control the bigger rides which can bash and murder. Greg was a Captain Lifeguard and serious about it. All sand bottom Biggie Boomers are the real stoke, because they are real Roundies, and inside the pipe the floor is flatter. The NollRider can rack-edge up higher on take off at the peak of the crest: and not do a drop and turn; as the pipe forms around you and you are surprised every time to be inside. Then it's out of the ocean water clean and clear eyed. Silence looks. The breathing space. The life. NollRider. The only surfboard.
