There were a few larrikins around in the ‘60s and to this day, mention just one name, and instantly people can relate a story or two over the last 40 years or so.
Bob McTavish, an undisputed legend of surfing culture in Australia.
About the mid ‘60s he worked at another legends place, Hayden’s factory on the Sunshine Coast and numerous board shops at Brookvale.
Surfing magazines have extensively covered Bob’s life an achievements and his exploits have from time to time filled books and headlines in the newspapers where he and friend David Chigley stowed away successfully on a ocean liner bound for Hawaii.
Bob won a string of surfing events in his time including the Queensland Open Title in ’65. Competitive surfing for Bob proved to be too restrictive and he eventually retired.
