Rod Slater was born and bred at Triggs and went to Scarborough High because that was the closest high school in the 60s.
Rod finished High School in 1966 and shifted down south with his surfing mates Buttsy and Choko in 1967… See link to his story and photos below.
Circa 1969 Rod Slater was a member of North Coast Surfers Club which was formed by Greg ‘Thunder’ Laurenson, Robin ‘Skullcap’ Sutherland and Mike ‘Spike’ Wynne. Club members included Spike, Thunder, Skullcap, Hoody, Rod Slater, Gooselegs, John Paris, Pee Wee Vos, Dig Dighelli, Terry Garrett, Big Eyes, Wayne Jacks, Steve Gath, Daryl Gath, Russell Quinlivan & others.
Rod now lives in Bunbury WA.
