My cousin stumbled across this old pic of my uncle at Lighthouse Beach, Bruny Island from sometime in the late 60's. Currently being restored but its a pretty sweet pic...

I wonder if my lil sis still has the b&w piccy she took of me with long hair doing a bottom turn on a head n 1/2 wave 26 years ago. Havta ask her tomorrow
Hi Mr rooMac.
I think your spot on for the date. Late 60's or the early 70's. I remember some really early wetsuits coming out that looked a bit like that one, (if it is a wetsuit). The board looks like my first board, that I got in 1970, about 6'10 round tail, flat rocker with a bit of nose lift. Ahh the memories. I was in black and white then as well!!

The EH pano was the surf wagon of choice at my local back in the day.
Love that old pic,love the old surfwagons,as you can tell by my name,haha.very cool!
couple of good fc's in the background to,panno & wagon!..
Couple of blokes in town collect EH sedans great cars . One gets used as a surf car carries around a couple of SUPs on top . do beleive he is off down the east coast in it at the moment with his boards surfing and camping .
About 20 years back had a chance to buy an old EH with very low kms ( literally driven to the pub and back on a Friday night by the old fella ) , in as new condition , couldn't beleive it when the old blokes family sold it out from under me . Haven't looked at an EH since till I saw the one in town here .havent seen too many of the panel vans must be pretty rare these days .
is that Park beach river rider .

Hey 68, owned 3 HKs myself over the years, always wondered how they handle compared to the cars these days, the 186 had plenty of power, but don't think they would go round the corners to well
yep, Tassie, that's park looking up towards the river, looks like this these days.
Would be interesting to see the same shot in 40 years . With global warming park beach could be the new Sunshine Coast
