Rip Curl Bells Beach Pro presentation in 1980.

Wayne Rabbit Bartholomew and I were in the final which I won. There was no priority buoy in those days. Every heat had a lot of intense jockeying and hassling for the inside position. Whoever was on the inside had first choice of wave.

I always liked to try and hold inside position from the start of a heat. To achieve this beach positioning in relation to your opponent on the initial paddle was important. Bugs walked down after me and went straight to my inside standing on the beach.

So I waited until he started to make a move towards entering the water and then I ran around his right hand side so I would have the inside as we paddled out.

Competitive surfing back then tested your surfing ability and heat strategy.

Peter crawford PC and his famous crozier Slab knee board design

Little Avalon New South Wales
Australia

"PC at Little Avalon in 1978 carrying his board with a leg rope shoulder sling.

The hands free board carry made it much easier to negotiate the steep LA track with camera gear, flippers, etc.

(It was a DY kneelo thing- a plug in the boards nose to facilitate the sling and presto- you could ride your pushie with a 24” wide kneeboard)

PC came north to LA only occasionally…intending to photograph, but only when it got really good.

Because of that he rarely surfed but on those occasions when the waves were not quite as good as expected, we had that rare privilege of seeing him surf our wave.

His approach was much more high performance than the locals, still getting tubes but belting the lip too.

He seemed to be going 1/3 faster than everyone else!" - Simon Chipper

Pro Surfers judging

SURFABOUT 1970s
Northern Beaches NSW
Australia

I asked Mr. Rabbit Bartholomew whether he was judging in this photo and for this event his response was.

Competitors signing waivers or media releases. I have never judged in my life. Peter  was renowned for pushing the boundaries in photography capturing unique moments and emotions to what may seem normal at the time Peter could see the art in these moment

The technique used was he obtained different types of filters on his lens to direct certain colours of the spectrum to allow them to be recorded onto the Film. Peter would either use single colour double or triple coloured filters

Just genius indeed!

This image exemplifies peter Crawfords signature 1970s surf culture look
