John Baxendale's photo of a North West surf club outing, late 60s. A great image of moggies and long raking fins.
A reader sent in this photo of his dad in the 70s and asked if I could make out the logo of his board . I couldn't - can you ? The one one the floor is a Tris.
Airbush on a Kneetrembler kneeboard bought by Andy at Phil Jays in London in the 70s. Not a lot is known about Kneetrembler boards. They made stand up boards as well as kneeboards and were producing in the mid 70s.
Some classic 70s sticks here , including a nice Space Gypsy .Pat Kieran in the hat ,photo by David Lawley, North West surf club.
A rare Kon Tiki waverider, still in original packaging ! Made of Balsa it states ' on the wave rider no child can sink !' . Nothing to say a child could get knocked off it by waves.

Bob Powers worked for the Yeo family as a joiner in their building company, when he first came to N Devon from the midlands in the early 1960`s. He stayed with Alan & Babs Kift for a year until he bought Westacre, a manor house just outside Mortehoe on the Ilfracombe road, where this photo was taken in his surfboard factory. Bert Yeo ran the Yeo bellyboard factory from the end of WW2 until 1985. Mortehoe 20th century history is tied to the sea and the waves.
