1960s NSW Central Coast surf images by Ric Chan

Surf photographer Ric Chan left his homeland NZ in 1965 and toured the East Coast of OZ meeting the locals and snapping surf shots until 1969.

His surf adventures took him from Noosa in Queensland to the central coast in NSW.

Ric had surf travel articles published in Californian surf magazine International Surfing in 1969 and Oz’s Surfing World magazine in the late 60s.
