Head Coach Steve Pezman on the left looking over possible magazine photos with his Starting Quarterback Art Brewer. These impromptu discussions from two future Hall of Fame members were what made SURFER the 'Bible of the Sport" and resulted in magazine sales of more than 100,000 copies per month.

This adaptation of the prevailing mode of travel in India to Southern California beach use came about through a speed dressing contest in which the young lady atop the surfboard changed from street costume to bathing attire seven seconds more rapidly than her defeated companions. Left to right - Leta Errol, Cathleen Devine, Dorothy Donnelly (on the board), Nona George and Joan Desborough. This photo ran in the Los Angeles Times on January 17, 1924 and is from the collection of Tim De La Vega courtesy of SHACC. #shaccphotoarchive #shacc #surfmuseum (at Surfing Heritage & Culture Center)

It's an age old question - Who really invented the wetsuit? Was it Jack O'Neill? Was it the Meistrell brothers? Was it Bev Morgan? Was it Hugh Bradner? The question dates back to the early 1950's when the wetsuit was first "discovered". Early versions of wetsuits were designed for divers (and the rubber was quite stiff) but they were soon adapted by surfers who liked to leave the "beavertail" unattached for greater freedom of movement. By the early 1960's the Neoprene "Short John" suits - shown here modeled by Mickey Munoz - had become the wetsuit of choice. The "Long John" came with long legs and long arms and was helpful in the Winter months.
