2024 NSW Australia Tour
This past spring of 2024, Randy Rarick ventured over from Oahu to Byron Bay, Australia, to attend/speak at an “Archive Film Night” event featuring footage of surfing in Hawaii during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s . Randy was slated to do a Q&A with Bob McTavish and Murray Paterson. While circumstances prevented Randy from attending the screening at McTavish Surfboards, the trip was certainly not for naught. Randy was able to catch up with his ol’ gang of legends. In addition to McTavish and Paterson, he spent some valuable time with Dick Hoole, Jack McCoy, Wayne Lynch, Nat Young, and the incomparably eccentric George Greenough. To reiterate - legends - all of them.
Any fan of surf history would love to have been a fly on the wall in the shaping studios and homes of everyone involved in Randy’ Rarick’s passage through New South Wales, Australia. While we can’t make that happen, we can enjoy a few select photos from his memory-making tour of Oz.
