I saw my old friend Richard today, hadn’t seen him in awhile. It’s always nice to see an old friend and catch up on things.
Toward the end of our get together he asked if I had heard that Greg Noll had passed. We got to talking about the old timers and shared a couple personal stories of Greg Noll before we said good bye.
I’ve got a couple of posts here and here in my blog of meeting Greg Noll when I was a teenager and when my wife and I went to see him at a book signing in Santa Barbara some years ago.
The man that was in the surf movies I’d go to. Seeing big screen sequences of him on giant waves with the whole auditorium hooting as he took on those monsters. A part of many surfers lives over the years.
His passing makes for a sad day but also brings up some happy memories… R.I.P Greg Noll.
