“The act of the ride is the epitome of ‘be here now,’ and the tube ride is the most acute form of that. Which is: your future is right ahead of you, the past is exploding behind you, your wake is disappearing, your footprints are washed from the sand. It’s a non-productive, non-depletive act that’s done purely for the value of the dance itself. And that is the destiny of man”. -Timothy Leary

Three wave dance to momentary enlightenment. Playa Zicatela, Puerto Escondido, July 2021.

One of the most iconic and beloved individuals the

One of the most iconic and beloved individuals the ocean community has and will ever know.

My childhood surf stoke was fed by the Bruce Brown VHS box set: Surf Crazy, Endless Summer, Barefoot Adventure, Surfing Hollowdays, Waterlogged, & Surfin’Shorts. These films were my surfing inspiration as were the characters within. None more so than Greg Noll.

I met Greg for the first time at 16. Wandering the isles of a trade show, I inadvertently came across the Noll Surfboards booth. Immediately drawn in by the masterfully crafted redwood and balsa boards, I then noticed a small crowd gathered in the corner surrounding none other than “Da Bull” himself deep in share of one of his harrowing surf stories. On the wall, were an array of iconic Noll images for sale. They cost a pretty penny for a kid who’s income came from working minimal hours at the local surf shop and the odd ding repair but I justified the purchase thinking I may never get an opportunity like it again.

When the crowd thinned I nervously approached, reached my hand out and said, “Its an honor to meet you Mr. Noll my name is Greg as well.” Without wasting a second he shook my hand and jokingly quipped— “your parents must be pretty fucking cool to give you that name.” He generously fielded all my questions (and I had many), and even returned a few of his own upon learning about my budding passion for big wave riding. After graciously signing my poster and saying goodbye, he yelled to his friend who sold me the print,— “give the kid his money back for this thing would ya!” We shook hands again, and I finally mustered the courage to tell him —“I’m actually named after the most badass and legendary big wave surfer of all time.”

Thank you Greg for the insurmountable inspiration both in and out of the water. It was an honor and privilege to call you a friend. Your thoughtful, loving, wise, and always humorous spirit will never be forgotten. One eye will always be on the horizon, and we will all no doubt be thinking of you when that next big set comes marching in.

Sending all the love to the Noll Family and friends around the world.

Whether it’s big waves, small waves or any other

Whether it’s big waves, small waves or any other passion you may have...the only achievement that really matters in my opinion, will be the ability to look back at it all one day, and acknowledge that while pursuing it, you moved through the world with integrity, love, and respect.

@clifbar ‘s new #LetsMoveTheWorld campaign is 🎯. We are all moving through this world along unique paths, and there is room for everyone. And when we choose to move together with love and positivity guiding the way, we can move the world and make it a better place everyday.

Grateful for brands like @clifbar that not only fuel people’s passions and adventures but a deeper connection to one another along the way.
