Smiths Beach surfer Bill Mitchell (an inaugural member of the South Side Board Club) provided this overview of the Club’s 50 year Reunion held over 3 days down south in March 2015.
South Side Board Club – Reunion
Bill Mitchell: “We had a 50 year reunion celebrating the building of “the SBBC shack” in Prevelly camping grounds. Twenty of the twenty eight originals turned up on site in Prevelly. It was a pretty special day as we paid tribute to two of our departed mates. A core group of a dozen of us from those days have stayed close mates. Only six still surf, four if “Supping” doesn’t qualify.
Like all old fart reunions the waves got bigger, the barrels deeper & the most used word was “WHAT”!!!”
