Surf Riders – Archival Photography Print, Cornwall, 1952.

Expert surf-rider Betty Hunt (left) and beginner Rita Perkins, a London showgirl, prepare to surf-ride the waves at Newquay, Cornwall, July 26, 1952.

This vintage photograph offers a glimpse into Britain’s early surf culture — where sport, glamour, and seaside leisure converged on the Cornish coast. The joyful contrast between the experienced and the beginner captures the spirit of camaraderie and discovery that defines beach life.

Perfect for coastal interiors, vintage collections, or beach-inspired spaces, this print brings a sense of nostalgia and carefree elegance from the golden age of summer.

This photograph was captured on a historic 35MM film camera, which is part of it's beauty - so the archival look is presented well when printed, instead of ultra high-definition camera prints.
