1969 Wayne Lynch surfing Margs Mainbreak in Paul Witzig’s film ‘Evolution’

The Witzig bros John & Paul (NSW) covered the 1969 Australian Surfing Championships at Margaret River for OZ surfing media.

In July 2021 The Surfers Journal posted Paul Witzig’s iconic video footage of 16 year old Wayne Lynch (and other East Coast surfers) surfing Margs to the sound of Ravell’s “Bolero” on Youtube.

This may be the same footage that lured the late Tom Hoye from Santa Cruz USA to Margs all those years ago!

Video run time 7:16 min

Thanks to The Surfers Journal and Paul Witzig for sharing this vintage footage.

John Arnold Surf Shop (South Aust) sent NZ surf photographer Ric Chan to the event for the same reason. Feature image of Wayne Lynch at Margs by Ric Chan.
