1934 The birth of board riding in WA

In 1963 Daily News surf journalist Alan McIntosh traced the birth of board riding in WA back to 1934 at Cottesloe pre-war.

Sadly Alan has since passed away.

These are images of Alan’s Hot-Dogging-1934 Style article in the Daily News. It includes his weekly surf report for metro and SW beaches in 1963.

Thanks for the early surf memories Alan R.I.P.
