Tim Gladders

Tim belongs to: Saltburn Surfers

Tim was one of the first surfers in Saltburn when the scene began in the 1960s. Since then he has seen many changes in equipment, conditions and numbers of surfers.

Tim was interviewed by Kylea Little on 9 February 2006. The interview took place at Saltburn Surf Shop and lasted 12 minutes and 5 seconds.

Changes

"There’s more surfers now- when we started there were four, now there’s about 204"

There’s more surfers now- when we started there were four, now there’s about 204. And it’s a fast growing sport- there’s a lot of guys doing it now, and ladies. My daughter surfs and she was Saltburn’s Ladies Champion twice so I am very proud of her. My other daughter had a go but she didn’t like getting her face wet.
