2004 Surfing WA 40th Anniversary celebrations

In 2004 Surfing WA celebrated their 40th Anniversary at AQWA (Aquarium of WA) in Hillarys.

A booklet titled Offshore and Pumping – 40 years of surfing in WA was published and issued to invitees at the function.

1965-67 WA Women’s surfing champion Teena Christon was invited to officially cut the Anniversary cake with WA politician John Quigley.

Quindalup surf photographer Loz Smith captured these social pics at the function (unless stated otherwise).
