Biography

L McGinness
photographer

Many people will remember Laurie from the old Surfing World Magazine days of innocence and stoke, where he was one of the chief contributors. A book producer himself, Laurie's library is slowly being uncovered, here is a snapshot of 70's bliss.

L McGinness

With good friend, Peter Crawford, Laurie produced some of the finest surfing related books of the late 1970s and early 1980s and we encourage anyone to chase down WILDWATER and 'Surfing Fundamentals' to name two.
