Adrian Philips, Harlyn, '86Its always a pleasure when Alex sends me one of his emails of his old photos. A true legend of the lens, taking photos of British waves and British surfers since the early 70s. The photos not only record the quality of British surfing at home and abroad, they describe the life of a man who has trekked round the planet having adventures and meeting the leading lights of the surf scene for over 30 years. Not a bad job !

I've got an original Jack O'Neil Lovecraft (number 13, hand shaped by Jack himself) and we have been looking for an appraiser... maybe you could refer me to someone good?

ReplyDeleteloving your blog at the mo' mate. lots of great pics and a good vibe. would like to see a wide shot of Carwyn's van to see how he crammed so much in as i'm planning on a European van trip this autumn..........
ReplyDeleteYeah Carwyn was a master of living out of a van. Like his board rack at the back. I'll see if I've got any more photos of it. Cheers for the comments
