UK Vintage Surf Meet.


Whilst in the UK I was lucky enough to make it to the vintage surf meet meet in Braunton organized by Al Lindsay from Vintage Surfboard Collector UK and hosted by Peter Robinson from the Museum of British Surfing.

The meet was held in Braunton, North Devon.

It seems I wasn't the only one drawing Schroff logos on my boards in the 80's
