Extracts from
North Steyne Surf Bathing and Life Saving Club: Fifth Annual Carnival
Manly.
Saturday 30th December 1911.
Published by T. Thompson, 5 Hunter Street.

Introduction.
Before the carnival, the following announcement appeared inthe press:

" 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."

- Unaccredited: North Steyne Carnival.
The Sydney Morning Herald, Monday 1 January 1912, page 12.
