Does anyone remeber the old promenade building made of corregated iron. The walls were lined with surfboards.

I'm pretty sure the old pavillion was made of weatherboard. It was 100 years old when they tore it down to build the one we have now. I bought my first brand new fibreglass board from there - a Wilson 6'3" pin nose, pin tail, single flyers for $150

to see the old summer sheds and promenade...look at a few old ROSS WILSON music videos. I think BOP GIRL featured maroubra.

If you look at this link from a kneelo surfing session in 1979 at the dunny bowl you will catch a glimpse of the pavilion near the 5 minute mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhpC4Gtd0bg&feature=PlayList&p=7C32A65181F4E0CE&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=10
