My uncle's would tell me stories of their first surf trips to Raglan. There was no road going down to Manu Bay, so they'd sleep up on the hill, next to their cars, and walk down through a farm that was on the point in the morning. The waves were much longer than they are now because there was no boat ramp. Back then to meet other surfers was exciting. More people to surf with, more people to share the stoke.

An in depth and personal look into the life of ‘The Black Knight’ - sixties Malibu surf scene hero - Mike Dora. He lived off his Hollywood-style good looks, crooked wits, and phony credit cards.

With accounts from hundreds of Dora's friends, enemies, family members, lovers, and fellow surfers ‘All for a Few Perfect Waves’ attempts...
Surfing big boards is not only challanging, it's dangerous. After a recent brush with my own log I found a new respect for those old boys who pushed their bodies and equipment to the limits. Here's a great short on Greg Noll and his early experiences surfing Hawaiian big wave spots Pipeline and Waimea Bay. Imagine going straight on a 15ft Wiamea Bay closeout and deciding to drop to your stomach so only not lose your board. Greg Noll knows about it, he wasn't nicknamed 'The Bull' for nothing.
