In the late 60’s and early 70’s Frank Latta was the hottest surfer on the Southside. What set Frank apart from others was he was able to adapt from the longboard to the short board with relative ease. Frank at the time was a highly competitive surfer and a real  threat and a regular finalist in the local ametuer comps and pro ams surfing against the likes of Nat, Midget, Spencer and Lynch.

This advertisement appeared in Surfing World in  ’69 featuring Frank Latta who was head shaper and sponsored surfer for the fresh new brand called Steve Core Surfboards. Both Steve and Frank had worked together at other local Board manufactures when they branched out on their own in a factory at Taren Point. The venture  lasted about 1 year.
