I can't recall why we thought this was a good picture! Possibly some pun about riding the waves?
Oddly enough, I never overheated in this costume, in spite of some of the beach picnic days being scorchers! Never got sunburnt either.
Apart from the pane in front, which I could open for extra ventilation the usual 'chimney flue effect' that I built into the helmet seemed to keep me cool. A vent in the top of the helmet (disguised as a pressure relief valve) lets warm out out, drawing cool air in through vents at the neck. I've taken advantage of this effect in several costumes, and only had to build electric fans into a couple of the more extreme ones.
Obviously I didn't take this piccy meself. I reckon my mate Ken Haesler took it, or possibly Gail Adams.
