The 1977 State Surfing Titles were held in quality waves at Main Break, Margaret River.
Surf journalist and photographer Ric Chan covered the event for the media.
While the specific State Title results are not known, WA Team Manager Tony Harbison led the 1977 state team to NSW, where Arty Sherburn won the Australian Seniors Title. Other WA competitors included Barry Young (Senior), Tony Hardy, Bruce Hocking, Chris Fullston (Open), Peter Davidson (Junior), Ross O’Brien, Blair Mieklejohn (Kneeboards), and Greg Laurenson (Judge). Apologies if I missed anyone.
