lyrics
From the Bonzai Pipeline to Sunset Beach
No big wave was out of reach
Sit over deeper, take off later
Greg Da Bull was the instigator
Dickie Cross didn't make it, Woody Brown washed up naked, Waimea Bay where da Bull would play
1969 brought the hundred year swell
North Shore surf would be a trip through hell
The older guys would tell the story
Bout 1958 and Makaha's glory
North Shore closed out as far as you could see
Was solid white water man that's no where to be
But west round the point - swells from a direction
Made Makaha's wave peel in absolute perfection
Makaha magic comes once in a lifetime
To not take a shot would be such a crime
Da Bull paddled out and he made the decision
The adrenaline stoke is like an addiction
The rest of the guys watched from the car
The story they told would make Greg Noll a star
No photograph was taken on that day
The biggest wave ever they all there would say
Da Bull thought it through and got back in the lineup
All alone now - everyone else had given up
He took the second wave in the set
He said his gun began to whine like a jet
The Bull dropped in and took that Greg Noll stance
No one else that day would take the chance
He got to the bottom and stepped off the rail
Signature striped baggies like he broke out of jail
Dickie Cross didn't make it, Woody Brown washed up naked, Waimea Bay where da Bull would play
