1970s Scarborough surfing identities – Len & Gordon

In the 1970s Len Laskewicz & Gordon Crowther were good mates living in the Scarborough area. They shared a love of surfing and chased waves on metro and SW beaches. The boys also enjoyed socialising and spent a lot of time enjoying themselves at parties on Yallingup Hill.

Lenny had a good surfing pedigree. In the 60s he was member of the Len Dibben Surf Team and placed 3rd in 1966 State Titles behind Murray Smith & Dave Williams.

Gordon was the quieter of the two lads. He loved his surfing down south but avoided the competitive side of surfing.
