Rachel
Wilson grew up in the South West by the coast at Yallingup.
In 2019 in her final year at High School she compiled a history of WA surfing in the 60s as part of her exam in Media Studies. Rachel interviewed WA surfers and surf industry personnel with knowledge of the 60s.
Rachel – “Growing up by the coast of
Yallingup, the surfing culture is something that anyone living here is bound to
be immersed amongst, with inflicted interest.
It was
always a great point of curiosity and my grandparents Joe & Tina Wilson
were amongst the many early faces who roamed the SW coast in the 60s.
This
project became a personal journey revealing history about my grandparents”.
