Two of my favourite photos from PNG. Most of the young kids all go out on bits of Timba either carved up with a bush knife into some form of surf vehicle, or some form of hand board.
I
read a book written by a German lady written over 100 yrs ago,
Elizabeth Kramer, Life Amongst Art Loving Cannibals. Both she and her
husband were trekking around the New Ireland Province, part of the
German Admin. She mentions stopping for lunch on the coast and seeing
the local boys riding waves. So I figure any where there is a coast line
and waves locals work out a way to harness that energy and have fun, be
it in a Kanu, dugout, or some piece of Timba.
