| 2006 Elder, Bruce: Ready Aye Ready - A Century of North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club 1906-2006 North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club Campbell Parade, North Bondi NSW 2026, Australia. Soft cover, 259 pages, colour and black and white photographs and illustrations, Appendicies. Review A less than rigorous work without footnotes or even a basic bibliography, it has numerous historical errors including another repetition of the Gocher Myth, pages 11 and 14. \ Given that North Bondi was one of the more surfboard riding focused of the Eastern Surburbs's life saving clubs, there is a regrettable lack of relevant information. Frank Foran, club captain 1915-1918, was a noted boardrider who perhaps wrote the first article in December 1917 on basic surfboard riding instruction in The Surf, Number 3 page 6. While the famous Bondi boardrider, Jack 'Bluey' Mayes is listed in Appendix B as placing in the Australian Championships of 1939 and 1940, he does not appear in the body of the text. |

Elkerton, Bruce, with McGinness, Peter: Kong- The Life and Times of a Surfing Legend Harper-Collins Publishers Australia Sydney, Australia. Soft cover, 354 pages, colour and black and white plates, Notes and Acknowledgements. Review Biography of professional surfer, with little information about his surfboards. Old Purple, his first used board, is not otherwise described apart from having a high-gloss purple-tint finish with a kaleidoscope of coloured resins smeared through the finish. It was replaced with a spanking new orange-railed, diamond tailed Soul surfboard from Ballina, which was later reconfigured as a swallow tail. In 1976 he was gifted a very, very early channel-bottom by Jim Pollard from Newcastle, later stripped of the glass and inexpertly re-shaped before being replaced by a Headland Surf pintail shaped by Paul Pascoe of Pascoe-Hopper Surfboards, Mooloolaba. By 1980 he was riding for the Gold Coast's Hot Stuff Surfboards, the first a flat-bottom shaped by Neal Purchase Snr. followed by an Al Byrne six-channel-bottom. The Hot Stuff Kong model, with a gorilla decal, was introduced in 1982. There is no mention of the change from single to twin and three-fin surfboards in the early 1980s. |

| 2010 Evers, Clifton : Notes for a Young Surfer. Melbourne University Press 187 Grattan Street, Carlton, Victoria 3053, Australia, 2010. Soft cover, 172 pages, Notes, Index. Review Certainly mis-titled, the book is more like Notes From a Young Surfer (or perhaps Portrait of the Surfer as a Young Man.) My local library has catalogued the work in their Youth section, apparently based on the title. Pedants Corner. The final paragraph reads: "We would do well to remember the original Hawaiian term for surfing: he'enalu. It means to slip or glide along a wave, but it also means to suspend one's judgement and confer with others. (14)" There
is no footnote #14. |
