Article in Everyboby’s Magazine November 1964, private collection. Beach fashionistas instruct surfers of 1964 to “come as you please, as long as its colourful”… Boardshorts and matching stripe singlet will cost 2 pounds. You’ll also need suntan oil, a huge Hawaiian towel, a beach bag, sunglasses and board wax, nailing your budget for another 7 pounds. Add the cost of a Kombi and racks. https://www.facebook.com/pages/BondiLife/142552712463598

Classic 1956 Australian footage shot by Greg Noll, taken from his Search For Surf movie, originally produced in 1957. This video features scenes culled from over 10 hours of classic Noll footage that made up the constantly re-worked crowd pleaser Search For The Surf screened in flea-pit cinemas and surf clubs in Australia around the late 50s and early 60s. https://www.facebook.com/pages/BondiLife/142552712463598
