Bill Cosson’s surfboards since the 1950s

In 1958, Bill Cosson built a 16ft plywood Toothpick surfboard on his parent’s front verandah. In 1962, he bought a custom fibreglass Malibu surfboard from King & Cole Surfboards corner of Salvado and Station roads in Wembley. During this time, he surfed at Geary’s Shack in Falcon, near Mandurah.

In the 2000s he owned custom Len Dibben and Cordingley surfboards.
