Rip Curl nailed, probably one of the most iconic logos of all surf brands stemming all the way back from its inception of a wave that looks almost identical as this little perfect peeling wave here. Just a little surf company back in 1969. I mean, come on, that had to have been a GREAT time to be alive and especially as a surfer. I was still just a twinkle in my pops eyes, but that was the year of Woodstock (350,000 people of whom attended - and I’m sure a lot of people walking around to this day were procreated at that very once in a lifetime concert - lol), Let's see, we also landed on the moon, Sesame Street debuted for it’s first time on television (great show growing up watching too btw), Paul Newman and Robert Redford starred in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. . . but in the surfing world, one thing that would remain legendary even to this day was the swell that hit Hawaii between December 1 and 4 1969, although it wasn’t the biggest, longest, or gnarliest, but it was the most famous swell in the history of surfing. Even now, more than half a century later, the legend lives on. There are several reasons for this, most notably because of a wave that Greg Noll rode at Makaha; a wave so big that shortly afterwards, Noll hung up his striped shorts and called it a day. Just some fun Tuesday, surf and non-surf history facts for all you who were there and remember and for all you younger generation peeps, it’s always good know and to remember your history!
