Here’s one little gem from 100 years ago, now consigned to history:
SURF BOARDS PROHIBITED. At the last Meeting of the Waverley Council an application was received from Mr. F. Foran for permission to use a surf board at Bondi. It was decided to Inform the applicant that the practice of surf shooting by means of a surf board was one that should not be encouraged, as It caused Inconvenience and annoyance to the public. The Inspectors were ordered to see that The practice was discontinued.SURF BOARDS PROHIBITED. (1916, April 19). Evening News(Sydney, NSW : 1869 – 1931), p. 6.
