Glynn Parry left school early to become a fighter pilot, but only made it as far as the local youth group. There he met a girl who laughed at his jokes, so he ran away with her. Now he's married, has three children, two dented surfboards and sand in his ears. When he isn't going over the falls he lives in outer space, where he writes teenage books and dreams of surfing the main break on a Nat Young original.
