Yes there are historical documents re Matt Whyte - his relative Anne Knight wrote about the surf club beginning days in True Tales Coromandel's Eastern Seaboard - available at TCDC library or to buy via TCHT ( The Coromandel Heritage Trust). A very brief piece in Bverley William's book Whangamata - now out of print unfortunately but can get information on from National Library NZ. Several photos on Archives NZ of Surf Club in 1970's.<br />Anne Stewart Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592744212312622734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731343660643221551.post-34491182207491428952019-10-25T14:19:59.108-07:002019-10-25T14:19:59.108-07:00Hello Anne,
