In the 60’s two Cronulla based surf photographers captured the classic surf pics and culture of the times. Living legends Jack Eden and Bob Weekes images take us back to another time and era when boards were longer and life was less hectic. The image of Wanda carpark below back in ’62 is from Bobs collection and many more of his retro images are now available for purchase.
