Grant Rohloff was born in
Hollywood, California in 1935
and started surfing in the
early 50's. His love of the
sport led him to a brief
apprenticeship with Surfer
Magazine founder and legendary
surf filmmaker John Severson,
which in turn led to his own
career as a still photographer
and filmmaker. Grant's first
project, "The Wonderful World
of Surfing," was released in
1960 and was followed by 12
other surf films, including
the highly acclaimed "Men Who
Ride Mountains." Rohloff
always began his movies with a
comic scene in keeping with
his mission to not only inform
with his films, but to
entertain. To Grant,
filmmaking, photography and
surfing were much more than a
vocation; they were a way of
life.
