Gary "Chappy" Chapman

When I was 17 , I had a friend who worked with Plastic Fantastic surfboards and so I hung out there a bit. Plastic Fantastic had great team riders in the early 70`s like Jeff Hakman and the Chapman Brothers, Gary and "Owl", (Owl wore thick glasses and was half blind I think but could surf like no other)I was surprised to read recently that Gary Chapman had lost a leg to health problems, yet continues to surf. I found this shot of him surfing near Troncones,Mx on his prosthetic leg.
