Coolite at Wanda 1970
Posted: May 26, 2015 at 9:25 pm
The “Firestone” GT Coolite Senior Board was the natural progression to fibreglass boards for a kid in the seventies. The cooite board was 5’8″ long, with two keel like ridges underneath instead of a fin. You can see where my toe nails dug into the back of the board when knee paddling. Because they were more than 18 inches wide, we preferred to knee paddle the boards to avoid getting board rash under the arms.

Not only is Tim a great surf photographer he is also a talented surfer with a special love for Mals which sees him still compete regularily in the Monthly Southside Club Comps. This shot ’77.
