Synopsis
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. Now living in Crescent City, California, Noll still shapes twelve boards a year out of old-growth salvage woods-replicas of Duke Kahanamoku's olo and other exotica for collectors. The Art of the Surfboard combines the art of building extraordinary surfboards with fascinating surfing history and photography. It's a must-have for surfers and surfing history buffs of any age. The Art of the Surfboard includes: A biographical introduction to Greg Noll A concise history of the evolution of surfboards and construction techniques from ancient Hawaii to the modern era Descriptive step-by-step photo sequences with explanatory text on building balsa, foam, and classic wooden surfboards A chronological gallery of Greg Noll surfboards, vintage 1950 to 2005, featuring photographs, action shots, commentary from surfers and shapers, and from Greg himself on the boards and their eras Portraits of several important Greg Noll surfboard collectors and their collections, with accompanying bios and information on the boards A guide to the various Greg Noll surfboard labels and the years each was used Illustratedthroughout with action surf shots taken by some of surfing's master photographers, One of the greatest surfers of all time, Greg Noll has built a considerable reputation as master of surfboard making, or shaping."

Sent an email to seller at 8:35 pm, they answered me an hour later the same evening! Prompt shipping, secure packaging, very reasonable and polite to deal with. Items were in even better condition than described on seller listing. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this seller again. Most highly recommended!!Lot 18 Geoffrey Household Red Anger, Time To Kill Arabesque The Third Hour (#236023838283)
- 4***m (5097)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOutstanding quality, even better condition than described, shipping was OUTSTANDING with a heavy cardboard box to prevent against in-transit damage. I truly wish more sellers packaged books the way Mr Bears Bookstore does, because flimsy plastic mailers used by others almost guarantee damage. This seller did an absolutely exemplary job and I appreciate their care. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, but I can recommend this seller wholeheartedly. THANK YOU!
- o***r (1878)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThese books arrived quickly, and just as described. They are actually in decent condition for their age. The seller packed them tightly to protect them, which I was thankful for. This is about what I expected to pay, so I felt like the value was good. Oh, and all, the experience with the seller was very positive.
