" The North
Steyne Club forwared for confirmation to the Surf bathing association a
programme for
the club's
annual carnival.
Fifteen life
saving clubs would be represented, and an exhibition of surf-shooting given
by Mr. L.
Bouffett,
of Norfolk Island."
- Sydney Morning Herald, 1 December 1911.- noted in S&G Champion: Drowning, Bathing and Life Saving (2000) page 159.
Unfortunately there
is no further report of the appearance of Mr. Bouffett, although due to
the disruption caused a black north easter (see link below for a
full report) this might be expected.
He may have participated
in:
"The alarm reel race and the surf and beach race had to be abandoned, but several prominent surf swimmers gave an exhibition of shooting the waves."
