George Greenough (surfer)
George Greenough (born 1941) is an influential surfer from the 60’s and 70’s for his designs and work in film, board design, fin characteristics, and other creations for the aquatic medium.
==Early life==
George Greenough was born 1941 in Santa Barbara, California to a wealthy family that had connections to railroad industry; nephew by way of marriage to the opera star Beverly Sills, and also a direct descendent of the sculptor Horatio Greenough, who sculpted a massive marble statue of George Washington which was placed in the capitol Rotunda.〔Warshaw, M. (2010). The History of Surfing Book (pp. 239-242). Chronicle Books. 〕 At the age of ten he had undergone open heart surgery and was known as a true ''character''. “… a thin-faced, narrow shouldered scion… always shoeless, often shirt-less, resin-stained Levis clamped onto his nonexistent hips with a length of rope, stringy blonde hair cut straight across at eyebrow level and flapping down over his ears.”〔Warshaw, M. (2010). The History of Surfing Book (pp. 239-242). Chronicle Books. 〕 Greenough was not known to be in the spotlight surfing over-crowded waves butting shoulders with everyone else that could surf; instead would prefer to find solitude in northern Hollister Ranch or surf Rincon at dusk to avoid the crowds. In 1964 Greenough traveled to Australia and would trade back and forth between Santa Barbara and his new home for some time.〔 Westwick, P., Neushul P. (2013). The World in the Curl: An Unconventional History of Surfing Book (pp. 137-138). Crown.〕
