Overview
Bruce Channon began work in the surf industry around 1966-67, while still in school, taking surfboard orders on commision for Bill Wallace Surfboards. Over the following years he became finish-coater for Ron Wade and Midget Farrelly, glasser/co-owner of Blyth/Channon Surfboards, glasser for Keyo and Geoff McCoy Surfboards, contributing cinematographer on A Winters Tale and Bob Evans’ 1973 film, Drouyn.
In 1975 Bruce started working at Surfing World Magazine, and over the next 24 years he worked with Hugh McLeod as photographer/co-editor/co-owner.
When the Channon/McLeod partnership sold Surfing World in1997, Bruce realised his position in the Australian surf industry was unique, and the fledging Internet provided a medium for all the contacts gathered over the last 30-something years. He worked for almost six months building the database that became Surfinfo.com.au, launched in 1998. This web site has a simple and honest role ... visitors can find every surfing company that exists in Australia, and surf companies have a way of allowing those visitors to find them!
