Didn't want to hijack the Onboard thread any more than it already has been, but I thought some people might get a giggle or a rush of nostalgia out of some of these, and maybe want to chip in a few more. Feel free to have a stab at who the riders are, and add your own pics. Sorry, no beer prizes.

Contest run by Adelaide Boardsailing Centre around 1982 on the mid coast SA






Racing was followed by an impromptu wave session






Goolwa, around 1983 (?) winner of an unofficial contest to see how many kids you could carry on a Wally


Henley, around 1981 - fat head, high boom and Gaastra ripoffs.

How barren does Hindmarsh Island look back then and there seems to be a bridge missing!

Wow ... that takes me back.
The board was an AUWC loaner ... what a great organisation that was !
The dog - pretty well known around events between Beachport and Sultana Point - passed on some years back and her ashes were scattered at that very spot.
The wetsuit was stolen off the veranda down at Goolwa that Easter.

Now 20 years later ... plan to be at the same place over Christmas, but with a different dog and hopefully my kids on the board instead.
