Grant Rohloff was born in Hollywood, California in 1935 and started surfing in the early 1950s. Grant's first project, titled appropriately "The Wonderful World Of Surfing" was released in 1960 and was followed by 12 other surf movies including the highly acclaimed "Men Who Ride Mountains". "Grant was ahead of his time and way ahead of the pack back in the 1960s," notes, C.R.Stecyk III (photographer, writer).
