My cousin found this old photo of her dad (my uncle) stand up paddling back in the 50's. As you can see in the background there were plenty of people doing it! We think it is on the central coast somewhere?

Just the one image. It showed up in an album that was being passed around at this uncle's 80th birthday last month.
They look like pretty tricky boards!
