70s photographs

1974 State Surfing Titles held at Lefthanders surf break – Images by Ric Chan.

In 1974 rounds of the State Surfing Titles were held at Guillotine and Lefthanders surf breaks in the South West.

Renowned Photo-Journalist Ric Chan covered the events for the Independent Newspaper and shot surf photos. While Ric can’t remember attending the contests, it is fortunate we still have his photos of the events.

These are Ric’s photos of the 1974 round of State Surfing Titles held at Lefthanders.
