News Clippings 60’s

A mate of Tim Vanderlaans called Peter Hanlay thought we would be interested in looking through his old school “maths” book. He collected every Sun Herald newspaper “surf” article from the summer of 1963 and 1964 .There are lots of great snippets of local guys like Jacko, Birdsall, Jack Eden and crew, and the news of the time. Also some pretty interesting ads featured as well.Below some of the clippings more to come.

    

 

 

Grant Grubby Coulter

Grant “Grubby” Coulter was one of the Junior sponsored team riders for “Jackson surfboards” along with Dave Still and Michael Jackson when this photo at the Jackson factory was taken in December 1978. And then Grant surfing at Shark island in the early 2000’s both images by Tim Vanderlaan.

Dane Wilson

Throughout the 90s Dane Wilson was at the forefront of  the nostalgic longboard resurgence. A classic nose rider Dane was also an all round competitor and free surfer and was not afraid to push the limits of longboard potential in waves of consequences. Photo below of Dane was taken at Shark Island by Tim Vanderlaan around this time.

Oil Tanker at Wanda

In the early 90’s this oil Tanker was washed into Greenhills and got stuck during a hell swell and caused a bit of panic due to its cargo. From Tracks photo Sarge.

John Rhodes

From all reports John Rhodes was a bit of a wild character throughout the 60’s and a well respected shaper who along with Daryl Eastlake produced the Something Incredible surfboards. Pictured below in Surfabout Magazine John shows off his 7 Stringer.
