American ex-pat John Small relocated to Scarborough Beach, WA in the early 1980s. An avid surfer and photography enthusiast, he helped found the Wavewalkers Longboard Club at Scarborough. His WA (Metro, SW, mid-West & NW) and Indonesian surf photos have appeared in WA, East Coast and International magazines and newspapers. He also produced surf videos.
John has retired and relocated to Thailand. He spends six months each year teaching yoga at Ashrams in India and no longer surfs.
John has kindly donated his extensive 1980s–90s surfing memorabilia—magazines, media cut-outs, stickers, photos, and videos—to the WA Surf Gallery at Aravina Estate Yallingup.
