Early Oz Belly Boarders
Western Australia 1932 , Dr Huntly Gordon Higgins and the Scarborough Scouts:
Paipo surfer in repose,
Nose on the nose,
No grunting he-man pose.
See how fast he goes!
What is it he knows?

Re: Early Oz Belly Boarders
I believe Jeremy Oxenden posted this photo to Joe Tabler, of Surfblurb fame. I'm curious regarding where it came from as it also can be found here: http://home.brisnet.org.au/~bgreen/bgpa ... age9.shtml
Robert Hosking, featured on this page: http://home.brisnet.com.au/~bgreen/bgpa ... .shtml#nsw was the nephew of Dr. Huntly Gordon Higgins and sent me a copied scrapbook page which contained a couple of photos, including this one. Robert enlarged it for me. It's possible he also sent this photo to someone else.
Robert made ply paipos in the 1960s. On the top of this page is another Hosking paipo:
