Greg Noll learned to make surfboards in the Manhattan Beach shop of early surf legend Dale Velzy. Renowned for his shaping and glassing prowess, Noll was also known as “Da Bull” for surfing enormous waves off the coast of Hawaii. This board features a sophisticated double stringer (the wood inlay) and Noll’s signature “chopstick” fin.
