At the dawn of the 20th century, surf bathing was prohibited during daylight hours, surfboards were unknown and the unpatrolled ocean was feared by most. A little over a century later, surfi ng is one of our most popular leisure pursuits, our champions are among the best in the world, and the fashion and culture of the sport are dominant not just along the coastline but also across the country. For many, surfi ng has become shorthand for what it means to be Australian. It accommodates both our irreverent, laidback sensibility and our dynamic sporting prowess. In 2013, Surfi ng Australia, the governing body of the sport, celebrates 50 years of promoting surfi ng as quintessentially Australian and steering its professional recognition. Marking the anniversary of Surfi ng Australia, this stamp issue embraces surfi ng culture and history since its popularity surged in the 1950s. 1762182 Booklet (s/a) (10 x 60c)
1762126 Stamp pack The stamps have been designed to refl ect the ephemera produced through the years, which has supported and given shape to surf culture. Typography has been a large part of ephemera design, which is refl ected in the stamp designs. Through their imagery, typography and “look”, the stamps express an historical arc from the 1950s to the current day.
