A kneehigh sloppy mushburger with me flapping about just in front of the whitewater with my feet right together, standing up straight, looking down at the board.
Ignorance is bliss.

I was 12 or 13, first year in high school and the board was this 9' 6" balsa pig board , known by all as the can opener.The older guys had just allowed me out into the point surf for the first time ,this was strictly enforced by the older guys, you had to be allowed!!!!!The Can Opener.jpg
We had to pay ten shillings to register our boards and the lifeguards had the power to confiscate boards that strayed into swimming areas, or if you paddled out through a swimming area.
Solution paddle out off the rocks you see in the foreground of shot one or do a fast run across the beach and paddle away, reverse order coming in when they weren't watching.

as we headed towards the end of high school 1967 we were going shorter in board length and longer in hair and the Vietnam draft was hanging over our heads.
Here I am with my first foam board gradually becoming a short board.
The Japanese guy was our school's first Rotary exchange student we taught him to surf and swear Aussie style 1967 Local newspaper photo. Dee Why Point in the back ground and fully posed

There were beautiful colors in the world in 1962 but you'd never know it. Pictures of my youth are black and white too! (and faded...and warped)

One of my kids has once asked me, "was the world in just black and white a long time ago?"That same kid is hogging my phone to play pokemon go
I'm not sure I trust him enough to hand him my phone on the beach to film me surf while I'd be hundreds of yards away. When I'm ready to face the reality of my poor style I should just hire someone.
