1982. Wanda beach. A 35mm film camera mounted to the nose of a surfboard captures a unique angle. The difficulties of getting this type of shot has been simplified with the use of todays Go- Pro cameras. Tim Vanderlaan Photo.

Touring Surfers. In NZ, some things just don’t change. Loved that old shot of some Cronulla surfers visiting NZ in the early 60’s. Nice to see that the houses are still there more than 50 years later. Can’t say the same for the old beach homes of Cronulla.
