Surfing in South Africa, 1923

This is from a publication from 1923 for Muizenberg, Kalk Bay, and St. James, South Africa,  with a surfer on the cover, as well as within, that talks about the region and describes both prone and early stand up surfing.  
This came to us via Wingnut from an acquaintance of his. We're hoping there will be more to follow.

Duke's 1912 Olympic Gold Medal

Duke Kahanamoku's 100 Meter Freestyle Olympic Gold Medal from 1912, Stockholm, Sweden. Duke would go on to win an additional 4 medals over the course of 2 more Olympics, and most likely would have do so again during the 1916 games–had they not been cancelled due to WWI. Some of Duke's family were here in November and had this with them. photo: Linda Michael

Digital Watermarking of our images – Public Notice

As part of our commitment to protecting our image donors, the Surfing Heritage Foundation has begun using digital watermarking on ALL of our images, including those images seen on our website. This watermark is not visible to the eye, but is easily seen by many computer programs such at Photoshop and other image editing programs. In addition, we have also purchased a “watermark spider” that crawls the Internet specifically looking for any images that contain our SHF watermark. The Surfing Heritage Foundation is prepared to take the appropriate action should we find any illegal or unlicensed usage of images from our files.
