Had a 9’ Quigg in Hawaii in ‘63. At the time it was a short board and my second board. My first board was a 9’9” Velzy. Surfed the North Shore with them both. I can still remember this one particular wave at Sunset on the Quigg. I got in late dropped to the bottom and turned as the wave was pitching over me. It was the first time I ever got tubed. Loved this video.
Great man, great video. Got my first surfboard in the summer of 1962. Had to give up surfing in 2019 due to health problems. Live to surf, surf to live...
As a young gremie I bought my first surfboard from Joe at his Newport Beach shop in 1960. I'll never forget how he stopped shaping a blank, covered in foam dust, and took the time to start me off on the journey that became my life long love!
Thank you for setting the record straight. And for giving this gifted surfer and innovator his true place in the history of our wonderful sport of wave riding.
Thanks for sharing this footage. The late 40s/early 50s footage of Quigg and Kivlin at Malibu is more "modern looking" than the surfing that took place during the subsequent decade.

Legends work hard and smart-.
Rest in peace. Joe quigg is the quintessential waterman. He lived till the end.
Where in Newport did he have a shop l lived in Newport on 37 street next to the yate brothers. In the 60's don't remember his shop????
Great stuff

My first board was a 9 ft Joe quigg , that my parents bought for me for $25 n 1966

Surely Quigg deserves a top spot in surfboard history.
