GREG NOLL & SON BOOK SIGNING AT HSS


Greg Noll: The Art of the Surfboard
Noll & Son and author Kampion signing new book at Huntington Surf & Sport

Greg Noll: The Art of the Surfboard is a tribute to the life’s work of one of the great creative masters of surfboard construction. Authored by veteran surf-writer Drew Kampion, the book is part life story, part history, part how-to, and part fine-art portfolio. It tells the full story of the surfboard as realized through the hands and mind of this surfing legend, who has been hand-building surfboards for over 55 years.

To celebrate the publication of the new book, Jed and Greg Noll and writer Drew Kampion will be signing copies of Greg Noll: The Art of the Surfboard at Huntington Surf & Sport (300 Pacific Coast Hwy. 92648) in Huntington Beach on Saturday, April 28th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

SURFERS' HALL OF FAME - 2007 INDUCTEES


SURFERS’ HALL OF FAME CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2007: Sofia Mulanovich, Al Merrick, Bruce Irons & Martin Potter Immortalized

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – The Surfers’ Hall of Fame, the world’s first imprint collection of legendary surfers, celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2007 with the inductions of Sofia Mulanovich, Al Merrick, Bruce Irons and Martin Potter. This powerful class of trailblazers will leave their permanent mark on the surfing world Friday, July 27 at 10:00 a.m. in front of Huntington Surf & Sport (corner of PCH and Main Sts.).

Brainchild of Huntington Surf & Sport’s Aaron Pai, the Surfers’ Hall of Fame celebrated its first induction in 1997…inside of HSS. Four years later with a stunning bronze statue of sport’s spiritual leader Duke Kahanamoku (built and funded by Pai) serving as a backdrop, the ceremony moved outside to the corner of PCH and Main; just a stone’s throw from the Huntington Beach Pier.

“This year’s Surfers’ Hall of Fame inductees have had a major impact on our sport,” said Pai. “Their combined contributions have influenced millions of surfers across the globe and helped revolutionize the sport and industry. We are very proud to honor them and create a permanent public showcase for their achievements.”

Styled after the famed Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, this year’s inductees join superstars and legends from several eras including Laird Hamilton, Mike Doyle, Jack O’Neill, Robert August, Greg Noll, Jericho Poppler, Kelly Slater, Lisa Andersen, Rob Machado, who are already immortalized in cement through handprints, footprints and signatures:

Sofía Mulanovich: Born June 24, 1983 in Punta Hermosa, Lima, Peru, Sofia was the first Peruvian surfer ever to win an Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Championship Tour (WCT) event. In 2004, she became the first South American (man or woman) to ever win the world title. Sofia’s list of credits to date is impressive, having won the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, U.S. Open of Surfing and the Surfer Poll (2004 and 2005).

Martin Potter: Nicknamed "Pottz" and "Eggy Potter", Martin is a British born surfer who was educated in Durban, South Africa. Considered the best “free-surfer” of his generation, Potz displayed immense talent, but lacked the consistency in the era of 25-plus event tours. He forever silenced the critics in 1989 by winning the world title. Pottz redefined competitive surfing by performing risky aerials moves and helped lead the way for a new form of competitive surfing which is now standard on the pro tour.

Bruce Irons: Bruce is a talented regular foot surfer from Hanalei, Kauai and younger brother of three-time world champion Andy Irons. Perhaps best known for his radical aerial maneuvers and fearless tube-riding abilities, Bruce turned pro shortly after graduating high school. After close calls in 1998 and 2000, Bruce defeated Kelly Slater to win the prestigious 2001 Pipeline Masters event. On December 15th, 2004, he won the "Quiksilver In Memory of Eddie Aikau" event in waves that exceeded forty feet at Oahu's Waimea Bay.


Al Merrick:
Legendary surfboard shaper was a relative unknown until Shaun Tomson captured the world title in 1977 on a Merrick-shaped board. Soon thereafter Al began making boards for future legend Tom Curren. Under Merrick's tutelage, the teenage star inked deals with Op and Rip Curl and went on to win three world titles. As Curren's status reached epic proportions, so did Merrick's surfboard label, Channel Islands. This reputation grew as young surfers wanted to duplicate Curren’s feats and the next generation of top professionals, spearheaded by Kelly Slater, desired Merrick’s creations; further cementing his status as an elite shaper/ entrepreneur.

The Surfers’ Hall of Fame inductees are selected by a committee of business owners, surfers and surf industry professionals based on contribution, dedication, integrity and revolution to the sport of surfing. The Surfers Hall of Fame induction ceremony is open to the public, free-of-charge.

CHASING THE DREAM


“If you’re going to be the next Kelly Slater, we’ll let you know”.

Chasing the Dream is a candid portrayal of eight Huntington Beach High School kids trying to obtain the impossible -- a career in professional surfing.

These kids have dreams of competing on the Association of Surfing Professional’s World Championship Tour (WCT), of which only 44 men in the world qualify for every year, and only one claims the most sought after title of all; World Champion.

The teens must steer through the ranks of scholastic surfing while dealing with injuries, overbearing parents, demanding school curriculums and a trip to Australia aimed at separating the ones who surf from the ones who win.

Chasing The Dream features a broad spectrum of professional surfing legends, from the most elite world champions such as Mark Richards (4x), Kelly Slater (7x) and Tom Carroll (2x), to the child prodigies that have been consumed by the World Championship Tour’s vicious obstacles.

Narrated by none other than The Masochist (Big Wednesday) himself, Gary Busey, Chasing the Dream is a coming of age story about kids who will do anything to achieve their dream of becoming a pro surfer.
