Review
Based on newspaper cuttings, club records and personal recollections, Ingham's book concentrates on the formation of the various New Zealand clubs and associations, detailing the administation and competitive results.
Unfortunately there is no report of Duke Kahanamoku's visit to Lyall Bay in 1915, following his tour of Australia.

See 1952 N. A. Ingram : NZ Surf Lifesaving.

The cover is based on an Australian image, compare and contrast:
The Australian Surf Life Saving Gear and Equipment Handbook, 1955.
