60s

Cordingley video – 1965-66 surfing Rocky Point WA

In the 60s Colin and Jennie Cordingley from Cordingley Surfboards in Subiaco captured WA surfing footage on their hand held Super 8 movie camera.

This 1965-66 footage by Jennie Cordingley shows Yallingup Board Club members have a field day on the lefts at Rocky Point in Eagle Bay WA.

Back then there was a lot of wave sharing and no wetsuits or leg ropes 😊.

The surfers include Colin Cordingley, Brian Boynes, Rob Birch and hot nose riders Mike Bibby and Terry ‘Rat’ James (R.I.P.)
