Daily Bulletin 8 August 1953, page 3. LIFE
SAVING IN BRITAIN
Mr.
Allan Kennedy, a former Superintendent
of Life Saving in Queensland and
Victoria, and a member of the Surf
Life Saving Association of Australia,
have arrived in Britain to teach
Australian methods to British teams.
He
will open his "school" at Bude,
Cornwall.
In one picture Mr. Kennedy demonstrates. his surf water-ski to Sir Thomas White, the High Commissioner, at Australia House, London. The surf ski is widely used for rescue work off the Australian ocean beaches. A cross
between a flat surf
board and a canoe, it
is the fastest method used by a lifesaver
for reaching a swimmer who gets into
difficulties.

Herald and Miners' Advocate 13 February 1953, page 14. Water Referee At Titles
By "Kuybee."
Allan Paterson; Superintendent of Newcastle branch of the Surf Lifesaving Association, will have a big job at the State surf championships at Caves Beach to-morrow. He will be in charge of all water. events as water referee Paterson, who became branch Superintendent for the first time this season, was first interested in swimming 30 years ago in the old Salty Creek Club at Young Wallsend. At 18 he joined Swansea ber of the club's boat crews for some years. He and another member owned the first surfboard to go to the area, and performed one of the first surfboard rescues carried out in the Newcastle district. The rescue of a young woman was carried out in rough seas. It was quite an effort on a board that took three men to carry it to the water's edge Paterson joined the Newcastle Board of Examiners in1936, after having been chief instructor of the club for a number of years. He rose in the board of examiners to deputy superintendent, a position he held for three years. He is a life member of Swansea-Belmont Club, Newcastle branch, and the State Centre of the Surf Lifesaving Association.

To-day South Coast and Northern New South Wales lifesavers make it their winter headquarters, where up to 30 of them at a time can be seen shooting the big south-east rollers on their surf boards and skis. They will back the bay's ski and board runs - sometimes up to almost three-quarters of a mile in length - against any beach in Australia. Trove

POLKINGHORNE'S SYDNEY DIARY
...When you duck smartly under a wave to avoid a masterless, careering surfboard, the chap you have to thank for the thrill is really Duke Kahanamoku. The Hawaiian swimmer brought the idea here early this century, made the first board in Australia, a solid sugar pine job, and gave the first demonstration of surfboard riding in high seas at Freshwater That original board, an 8ft solid job of sugar pine, was presented last week to the Freshwater Life Saving Club by veteran surfer Claude West, who got it from the Duke and on it was undefeated surfboard champion from 1915 to 1924. Claude used the board until last year. Trove 1953 'ARTHUR POLKINGHORNE'S', The Sun (Sydney, NSW : 1910 - 1954), 16 October, p. 17.

A noticeable absentee from
Towradgi Beach during the
past few weeks has Branch surf board champion, 'Tosser' Green, ,
Old man 'flu' has caught up
with this wizard of the board and his club expresses
the hope that they will see the evergreen "Tosser" paddling
with the boys and annex another Championship this season.
While on the question of boards, it is the opinion of
many ardent surfers that the
Towradgi club would be the largest board and ski club outside the metropolitan area.
