28 March 1976. Sandshoes & Surfer. This surfer contemplates a snapped legrope at Windy Point. The surfers in the 60’s coined the name for “shoes” at Oak park, after the sand shoes often worn to avoid injury on the spiky sea urchins found in the area. Tim Vanderlaan photo.

The summer of 1975/76. Elouera Beach. The “surf reel” makes a great seat for this girl wearing a woollen crocheted bikini. The “surf reel” invented by Australian surf lifesavers in the early 1900’s was the main lifesaving apparatus used on every beach up and down the coast for nearly a century, and now both the reel and the woollen crocheted bikini are obsolete.
