1967 WASRA Program for Fourth State Surf Riding Championships at Yallingup

The 1967 WASRA Program was edited and published by surf photographer/surf shop manager/surf media/surf administrator Trevor Burslem (Dec’d).

In 2007 Trevor was posthumously awarded Surfing WA’s Len Dibben Award for his surfing Media & Promotion services in WA.

WASRA (West Australian Surf Riders Association since 1964) changed its name to Surfing WA in 1990.

The inside corner of the North Mole used to produce fun waves in a north swell. Unfortunately, subsequent harbor extensions destroyed this novelty surf break.
