Burst Of Warm Weather Stimulates
Surf Revels At Victor Harbour SHOOTING THE
SURF
at Chiton Rocks yesterday.
With
the aid of a good comber and a sturdy surf
board,
Mrs. Aubrey Kellner sped shorewards in dashine style. LIT BY a shy
sun, the foam-flecked surf
at
Chiton Rocks yesterday was irresistible and the most was made of late opportunities. The weather
developed a joyous holiday mood
and numerous parties responded to the call. It was a day
of real exhilaration.

of years Bondi
has been accustomed
to an early morning
visit
from Commander Cifford, who rarely foregoes his daily surf . He was snapped
on Tuesday

7.30, complete with surfboard,
when his companion was Mrs Miss Barbara Robison, another ardent surfer. Trove 1936 'SOCIAL LENS', The Sun (Sydney, NSW : 1910 - 1954), 12 January, p. 40. , viewed 03 Jul 2016, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article230087697 |

'A
MAN MUST WORK'
'If I could throw everything aside," he said, "to train as hard as I did before, I think I could come back. My legs are stiff, though; it would take a lot of practice. A man has to work.' He smiled, and added, 'Even if he is a bachelor.' Duke is 45. His stroke still clips the water as keenly as- ever, but, time has slowed the legs that brought the 'flutter kick ' to swimming- an innovation that revolutionised the sport. He has riot competed since the 1932 Los Angeles games when, by persistence, he won a place on the Olympic team for tlhe fifth time- with the water polo aggregation. Duke still
swims and surfs,
to keep in condition, and his
raw-boned body is as hard as it was
when he dominated the world record
holders.
That was
before his hair began to grey and
liis legs to grow old.
THE 'FLUTTER' KICK
Almost overnight the Hawaiian was catapulted from his surfboard to swimming supremacy. With
the ''flutter'' kick, which he acquired to
gain mometum for catching Waikiki's
waves, he shattered records
mercilessly.
He brought that kick to the mainland when everyone else, he says 'was just swimming' with the old, 'scissors kick' which did almost us much to impede progress as to aid it. . |

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Holiday Makers' Guide.
A SIMPLE SURF
BOARD.
We are passing on for the benefit of other intending holiday makers information about making a surf board, asked for by J. S. Hoskins, Ballarat. The simplest
kind of surf board
is a flat piece of timber, about 5 feet 6 inches
long, 2 feet wide and an inch in thickness.
One end of the board is rounded off to a blunt point, as shown in the sketch. This type of board
is best made in one piece, as any screwed or glued
joints are liable to scratch the surfer,
or may come apart with the rough treatment the board
gets.
Any light
wood is suitable for the board.
