Australian surfboard building pioneer Denny Keogh and surfer/shaper Mark Rabbidge talk about their memories of the DY Surf Shop Sydney's earliest surf shop?
I remember way back in the 60's the surf culture coming out of Australia and we got the midget farrely tv programs in New Zealand, the Cashmere boys in Christchurch took up surfing triggered by Midget Farrely on tv it just looked so interesting, probably that and the monkeys hit the consciousness and the rest is history. Started me off second year high school after starting a new school after starting to get into trouble; surfing changed my life gave me something really healthy to do. I thank God for Midgets show and the beashes in New Zealand, it was inconsitent but forced me to travel and seek surf. Surfing saved me from getting into a lot of trouble with my mates back in the inner burbs. The trouble with tean years is too easy to get lead astray by older teenagers who you look up to; being too easily lead is a problem for teen agers. I thank the Lord for surfing, I really thank Jesus.
Thanks for discussion on hows & whys, DY surf shop chain..
