I submitted the Bill Andrews entry because he is listed on a page of notable surfers. I considered that an entry to further explain Andrews role in current surf culture. Vidamasvida 18:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are there reliable sources that can verify the notability? -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is already noted that Andrews made the cover of SURFER in 1964. Andrews's role as surf documentarian and archivist is known by everyone who knows him-- hundreds, maybe thousands, of surfers in San Diego. He is the Studs Terkel of San Diego surfing. No reliable source has written the definitive surf history of Southern California. When that person does, he/she will get a huge amount of information from Andrews. He's one of the last surviving and surfing members of the 60s surf scene. Just check his website www.adaywithba.com It is labrynthian and ecclectic, but truly amazing information is embedded in its links and pages. Thanks for your guidance. This is my first Wiki. submission.Vidamasvida 20:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
