Hewey,thanks for posting. You were definately born in the wrong era.hewey wrote:Cool pic Glen
Some pics from http://www.southcoastlongboards.com.au/ They're all available as prints too
Funny thing is I know a lot of the guys in the photos( and the ones on the the website) Some of the info is wrong eg. the one with the Dodge sedan (with all the mals) is actually taken in Cronulla, just up from what used to be Ma's milkbar( not the one in the photo, Ma's was to the left of that shot, just beside the old fire station) on Gerrale St.
The soft top Angleiron, belonged to a guy who is now a well known artist and surf photographer, Gary Birdsall. (then known as "birdshit")
The photo with the "Highway Cafe" ( great toasted cheese sangers ) was at either( oldtimers is creeping in) the Sandon Point turn off or at Bellambie,( Wollongong suburbs), on the Prince's Highway
The guys sitting on the bonnet of the '46( I think I've got this right) are from l -r Johnny Coleman, Ray Wilkenson(maybe,jury's still out on this one), Yance Moller, Nigel Dwyer, Bob Aires.
I think the photo with the '60 Belair was taken at Quibray Bay ( Kurnell). We used to use that area a lot, to "freeboard",and from memory, to race motor bikes.
The Chev was probably Nigel Dwyer's, (not driving in that photo), who used to work for Jackson Surfboards, before he went to New Zealand.
There's one photo on their website thats attributed to Bobby Brown (layback, 2nd photo of Bob.) that I'm fairly sure isn't Bobby. Grew up, went to school and surfed with Bob, before he was tragically killed in a "glassing" incident, in the 1960's,( who said it's a new phenomena) at the "new" Taren Point pub.
Ah well, just some more of the 2 bobs worth.
