Surf photographer Ric Chan left his homeland NZ in 1965 and travelled the East Coast of OZ, shooting some of the hottest up and coming locals until 1969, when he left for Melbourne, Adelaide, and eventually WA.
His East Coast surf adventures took him from Sydney in NSW to Noosa in Queensland and return.
Ric had
surf travel articles published in Californian surf magazine International
Surfing in 1969 and Oz’s Surfing World magazine in the late 60s.
In
his travels Ric visited Yamba at the mouth of the Clarence River in Northern
NSW (the biggest river on the east coast of Australia). Just
south of Yamba is Angourie, a National Surfing Reserve. Angourie Point is one of the
best right-hand point breaks in Australia.
In
Yamba Ric went wake boarding with Rodney Sumpter a talented surfer and surf
entrepreneur from Cornwall, England
This is a
collection of Ric’s images from his Yamba wake boarding session with Rodney
Sumpter in 1968.
