Biography

Peruvian surfer, known as Gordo Barreda, a four-time Peruvian national champion (1968, 1969, 1970 and 1974), who competed internationally, and was one of Peru's first surfboard shapers.

As a shaper he made boards under the "GB" logo. His surf shop, which started in the garage of his home and with the help of his wife Eva, was the first in Lima. He also put together a team of young surfers who competed under his GB logo, a number of whom followed in his footsteps to be Peruvian national champions.

In 1979 he discovered the now well-known break of Cabo Blanco in northern Peru.

In 2002 he suffered a heart attack surfing Cerro Azul, and had surgery for it a few days later in Miraflores, but died of a further post-operative heart attack, aged 50, on 25 April 2002. His ashes were spread at sea.
