Woodies really suit the beautiful beaches here. Guess everyone else says that 'bout thier air- con Hyundais. I did a Hamb related watercolour sketch at the beach yesterday. I'll post it on this week's Friday Art Show.
My husband and I surf...I'm still learning but LOVE it. We were just in Santa Cruz a couple weeks ago watching the surfers at the point and 3 of the most amazing woodies rolled up and out came some old timers ready to hit the waves. I don't know what was more fun: checkin the rides out or watching them get down on the waves and teach the younger cocky basterds a thing or two! Sadly, they might close the Surf Museum at the lighthouse (lack of funds). My dad's been taking me there since I was little so I bring my kids everytime we are in Santa Cruz.
!963 or 4, Stanwell Park on the NSW south coast, the transport is my stepfather's FJ Holden ute, I'm the scrawny looking dude with the bare feet in the white sweatshirt on the far right of pic. The solid coloured board right behind me is mine. The rest of the crew of misfits are my high school surfing buddies. Cheers, Glen.
We ran a few ads for wheels headers in SURFER and SURFING back in the early seventies and they bombed!
Here's one of my old Ford 100E taken last summer just as my girlfriend and I set out on our surfing holiday.
I had to use my daily driver to haul boards. It was all I had and still is. that's me on the left. Not much of a surfer.
kev ,when i first came to the hamb i had the second picture as my screen saver-it is still one of my favorites
