Bid for Glory: Pat Curren's Waimea Bay Elephant Gun at California Gold S...

In the annals of surfing history, a legendary chapter unfolds as California surf pioneers redefine the North Shore, usurping Makaha as the ultimate big-wave capital. This daring collective grew in number annually, marked by heightened confidence and an unwavering spirit of informality. Far from stern athletes, these Californian surfers embodied a fraternity on spring break, engaging in audacious antics.

Perched on Waimea Falls' cliff edge, they double-dared each other into 60-foot leaps, indulged in mud-sliding down pig trails during rain, and ignited mouthfuls of lighter fluid for amusement. Shirtless and carefree, they stole chickens, played poker, and embraced bodily sounds echoing their canned beans diet. Among these pioneers was Pat Curren, a melancholic boardmaker from La Jolla.

Curren's impact resonated as he transformed a beachfront house into the famed "Mead Hall," a Norse-inspired hub of camaraderie. Despite his reserved demeanor, he'd don thrift-shop Viking helmets, leading raucous mead-fueled meals in a broken Old English-surfer dialect. Collaborating with Greg Noll, Curren emerged as a leader in the North Shore's pioneering era.

His mechanical prowess, honed from a diverse background as a draftsman, carpenter, and underwater repairman, elevated him further. Specialized in crafting big-wave boards, his 12-foot balsa pintails became artistic weapons, refining the finned big-wave surfboard pioneered by Downing and Quigg.
