A LOOK BACK: PUNI'S FARM

A LOOK BACK: PUNI'S FARM

Puni's Farm Matakana Island

Enjoy this early footage of Mount Maunganui legends Allan Byrne and Kevin Jarrett surfing Puni's Farm during the early 70's shortboard revolution. The clip also features an interesting history of how how Byrne and Jarrett developed chopped down surfboards for flat day fun behind a ski boat, which later developed into skurfing and ultimately the sport of wakeboarding.

Awesome memory, remember borrying Barry’s board and heading across the entrance with Dave Paulsen. Got smashed in shore break. Also, Mel and Sal took me and my sister Lesley skiing up Hunters creek. I tried the skurf board
