Hey guys, just for the hell of it: that was Charles windsurfing for us in Oz.
Some sites say 1978, another 1979.
I doubt the 1978: there are pics of him in 1980 on a board and he looked like a beginner, whereas on the pic there is some style in a bit of a breeze.
He was in Melbourne 1978 (Menzies funeral in May), but doubtful. Then twice in Perth in 1979, and probably elsewhere. One caption says 'probably Perth' - good guess.
So question is: where? Sure don't look like the well known windsurfing places we know and love in Sydney, but things were different then. If Sydney, perhaps (long shot) Rose Bay or the old Harbour before Darling.
But likely Perth, right? With the bathers on, musta been summer months...
