Note: the historic reference to surf on the front of this postcard.
This postcard proves that British surfers were using postcards to
tell their mates up country about the state of the surf!
Predating the American surfers by a couple of decades. The postcard
used probably warned it was a bit flat. Telegrams were expensive.
