Bachelors
Unidentified...for now. Off The Wall. Photo: Gilley

Previously in denial about his photographic past, Rob Gilley now rummages through his trove of mediocrity.
Every surf photographer has them. A boatload of images without a name attached. A pile of “unidentifieds.”
It occurred to me that now, in this era of social media and cyber-connectivity, that there’s a way to possibly solve that. Give those photographs a public forum and let the World Wide Web attempt to link up these unidentified surfers with names. A public game of match making. Veritable hook-ups for some needy bachelors.
So let’s see how this game of Image Match goes. Check the photos below, see if it’s someone you recognize, and then post their name on the comment board.
Good Luck.

These pictures are fantastic. That one in the middle doesn’t even look like he’s on a surfboard standing under the “umbrella”

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that is Jeans McGee. Rode a 6’1″ in 501s. His life was crushed when corduroy became popular.
