Who Pioneered Ocean Surfing In The USA?

Surfers over the decades have dedicated themselves to finding and successfully the biggest waves on earth.

Meet Greg Noll, the pioneer whose relentless push into Hawaii’s big surf in the late 1950’s earned him the nickname “The Bull”. There’s Jeff Clark, Northern California’s lone frontiersman, who, after discovering the massive waves of Maverick’s near San Francisco, rode there alone for over a decade. And finally Hawaii’s Laird Hamilton, the prototypical “extreme” surfer, a rare breed of athlete/innovator considered as the best big wave rider who ever waxed a board.
