1967 The Search For Surf – Horizons Ahead magazine

In the 60s Horizons Ahead magazine featured stories on People and Places in Western Australia’s Future and cost 20c.

In the February-March 1967 edition, the magazine published an article titled ‘The Search For Surf’. It highlighted overcrowding issues on Perth surf beaches and featured surfing images of local surfers Alex ‘Zac’ Kochanowitsch, Ron Moss, Howard Johnson R.I.P. and Eleanor Proud R.I.P.

These are images of the 1967 Horizons Ahead cover and surfing article.

Interesting to read that Perth’s metro surf beaches were experiencing overcrowding issues back in 1967.
