Mike Sanford (left) and Glen Broadhurst wax up their surfboards before competing in the North Wai Dunga Classic 1986 at North Beach on Saturday. The North Wai Boardriders’ Club is one of the oldest clubs in Christchurch and members held a reunion contest to celebrate the sport’s official 21st birthday. Competitors rode surfboards dating back to the 19605, measuring more than 2.5m (8ft), unlike most of today’s boards which are as short as 1.5m and have multiple fins.
