BARTLETT, Vernon. You and Your Surfboard … With additional comment drawn by Maurice Bartlett. [Porthcothan Bay, Padstow, Cornwall: Darke-Johnson Ltd. For the author in London. 1953].
Oblong 8vo. Original illustrated wrappers; pp. 24, profusely illustrated throughout by the author’s brother; minimal spotting to wrappers, otherwise very good, with ownership inscription, dated Newquay 1953 on initial blank. Newquay had been a destination for Britsh surfers since the 1930s.
Scarce first edition, first issue with the author's London address, and not his later Rye, Sussex address. The writer, journalist and leftist politician is the author of this very early study on what he called ‘surf riding’. He is well known as being the co-author of WW1 classic Journey’s End and here took quite a left-field diversion. Bartlett exclaimed that you could use any kind of board, even the landlady’s tea-tray. He also dedicated a couple of pages to rubbish on the beaches and told its readers to dispose of their own waste. He finished by saying he was yet to find anything as exhilarating as surfing on the north Devon coast and that the older he got, the more fun it was to do.
