Product Review
Leafing through the pages of "The Art of the Surfboard" wears you out, just from the sheer impact of Noll's personality. Kampion -- a longtime surf writer with a canny feel for the history of the sport -- pretty much captures the many facets of Noll's contributions to surfing and also resists the overheated surf-magazine puffery. Noll emerges not as a god, but as a talented guy good with both his hands and his brain. "Greg Noll: The Art of the Surfboard" zeroes in on Greg Noll and on the art of surfboard craftsmanship, and does so with savvy good humor. -- Honolulu Star Bulletin, March 2007
There's a beautiful coffee-table book coming out from Gibbs Smith called Greg Noll: The Art of the Surfboard. It's got all the longboard designs from the prison-shorts, big-wave surfer. -- Publishers Weekly, Notes From The Bookroom, March 30, 2007
Product Description
One of the greatest surfers of all time, Greg Noll has built a considerable reputation as master of surfboard making, or "shaping." Today, collectors and surfers alike prize his unique brand of board. Recently featured in the award-winning documentary feature, Riding Giants, "Da Bull," in his iconic black-and-white striped trunks, was emblematic of big surf and fearless commitment. In addition to being a pioneer of big-wave surfing, surf movies, and surf magazines, by the mid-1960s, Noll was one of the largest surfboard manufacturers in the world.
