Here are a couple of additional photos found among my dad’s collection of photos, clippings, and documents from his 60 years of involvement in Hawaii water sports.

The first photo shows legendary surfer Wally Froiseth outside the Waikiki Natatorium posing with several paddleboards.

The second photo is an enlargement of just a section of the image showing the people in the background behind Froiseth. I think that’s my dad, John Lind, in the center of the detailed photo, walking towards the camera.

He appears to be wearing the same clothes as in another photo posted here last week with a group of paddlers at the Natatorium. That leads me to belief these two photos were taken on the same day in 1940.

The Waikiki Surf Club was founded in early 1948, and the next photo must date from this period. It again shows Froiseth, at left, with a number of young men in the club.

Froiseth, co-founder of the WSC, has been described to me as a key to the surf club’s success because he was able to attract young people to join.

The last photo is again an enlargement of one section, showing some of the younger surfers those watching as the photo was being taken.

Interesting glimpses of Waikiki in a bygone era.
