BIRDSALL: CHAPTERS FROM A SURFING LIFE
Surf history buffs know all about Gary Birdsall. They probably even know where he lives, but he’s never sought the limelight and if you haven’t been paying attention you might have missed him. Shaper, designer, artist and much more, Marcus James’ story of this much-travelled goofyfoot is a ripper as are the classic photos from Bob Weeks, Albe Falzon and Jack Eden. By way of full disclosure there is a Jack Eden photo of Gary on my living room wall so I reckon if you don’t enjoy this, in the immortal words of The Silver Bodgie “you’re a bum!”.From Vol 19 no 5 Pacific Longboarder
