George Greenough is a surfer from Santa Barbara, California who now resides in Byron Bay in N.S.W Australia.
He is known for creating the modern surfboard fin. He changed the design from a useless keel to a more powerful fin.
His equipment was different from the longboard design of the day. George rode short kneeboards under 5'5" and rode surf mattresses regularly. He is credited as being the best mat rider ever. George still surfs air mattresses.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s George released his films "The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun" and "Crystal Voyager".
