Gul wetsuits

Heres a couple of Gul suits I've picked up along the way, probably from the late 70s. Gul was our first main wetsuit company, started by Dennis Cross from a van at Fistral in the late 60s, and has always been supportive of British surfing and surfers. They also have a nice board collection which they are letting me show on the blog, so cheers to Gul.

  1. Blast from the past! One of my first ever jobs was to design and artwork the 1984 ad above, I think the surfer was John Copley, the hand lettering took me ages - very 80s...
