Title: Surfing World Vol 1 No 1 ... Vol 2 No 6.
Description: Sydney, September 1962 to August 1963. 12 issues quarto together in contemporary cloth titled in gilt, all covers preserved; thoroughly illustrated. A couple of old tape repairs; rather good. ¶ The first year of the pioneering surf journal, begun as a sport went viral and became a way of life, but still more wholesome than not - a subculture rather than the drug raddled counterculture it would soon be. Trove finds no complete run, only two libraries hold issues from the earliest years.
