In the late 1950s SW surf pioneer Barry ‘Joe’ King rode a homemade 9ft triple stringer polystyrene (Coolite) surfboard glassed with epoxy resin. This photo shows Barry and his surfboard at Yallingup in 1958. In 1961 Barry went partners with Brian Cole in WA’s first fiberglass surfboard business King & Cole Surfboards in Roydhouse Street Wembley. Image courtesy of John Budge.
