Turning back the clock

During the week pioneer WA surfer/surfboard maker Brian Cole (76) surfed the Bunbury Break (now known as the Cove or Nancy’s Left) at Yallingup.

It was great to see the salty old sea dog enjoying himself in the water on his home-made triple stringer surfboard.

We need to respect our living legends and share some waves with them.

Comments from other water users:

From Len Dibben – “Nice clean small waves. Great to see an old fart having fun.”

From Brian Bell – “Great to see Brian out there and hooting him on a wave he was surfing, we have a great vibe amongst ourselves, it’s what surfing is all about.”
