Gary has schooled generations of surfers in big surf. Happy to see he's still at it. Salt water heals all wounds and acts as a fountain of youth.

I met Gary in the early 70's in Brazil. He is a great surfer and fantastic shaper board builder. He was also making some amazing balsa wood boards. He told me of some of world travels and places he surfed. I had a chance to surf Saquarema when he was out with many great friends from that time. I miss those days! He is a great person and a surfing legend well know throughout the world. Great seeing Gary still ripping away. Thanks for the video as it brought back some many great memories of my surfing days. Aloha!

"Aging is the Gift of Life" Gary certainly knows how to unpack that gift! and Yeah... real watermen take the precautions to survive... put your gear on, board in hand... just in case! He's been around long enough to know that things can go bad real fast.... Excellent video!! I will be 75 in a few weeks and my plan is always to surf better tomorrow than I did last year. It is possible to find ways to work around the creep of age and enjoy surfing as much as I always have 😊 I have a new model coming out in a few weeks and I am paid to surf... so life as an old surfer can be totally awesome!!!!

I remember visiting him at his factory in Oceanside. We were a handful of Van Isle riders with no exceptional skill. He didn't care, he still welcomed us.Gary is super kind and encouraging.

@Steven_Oliver_Resurfaced 2 месяца назад

Gary is an amazing person. He's so humble and kind and his shop in Oceanside CA is about as core as it gets. Had the pleasure of surfing with him at Todos Santos a couple times. Stay Stoked!

@dewindoethdwl2798 4 месяца назад

Another guy keeping me stoked. My plan is to pass on the favour one day. Too many people think you have to stop at a certain age, so never try. If you look after yourself, choose your parents carefully, accept inevitable limitations and enjoy what you do there is a lifetime of joy ahead. Yes, luck is in the mix but it’s also generated by your life choices.

@49SeoServicesSanDiego Год назад

Gary was chosen to continue shaping the Dick Brewer line of surfboards after Richards passing last year. Very grateful for him, and the Gary Linden that Bird gifted me from the shed. There was an avalanche of surfboards on the side of shed sliding. Bird slotted both hands in to stop a 10 surfboard wipeout. I ran up and stopped four boards from sliding off the end, and Bird picks out a Gary Liden from the pile and says, this is a classic, take it.

Although largely land locked where I am, I love to take my big old board down to Cornwall a few times a year. I’m 58 and started BJJ a year or so ago. When I’m feeling sorry for myself because my body can’t do the things it used to, I look across the mat at Barry who is 73 and regularly trains and rolls with the younger guys. Keep moving and pushing yourself. Limitations are often set in the mind.
