Two young women in vibrant bikinis — one in a pink floral two-piece, the other in a teal patterned set — stand at the water's edge on a Cape Cod beach, watching two boys attempt to ride a longboard through the gentle Atlantic surf in this quintessential snapshot of American summer leisure circa the mid-1960s. The photograph, taken from behind the women, transforms them into a compositional device that frames the action beautifully: the long sandy shoreline, the foamy wave break, and the chalky blue sky stretch to the horizon in the way only a Cape Cod summer can. Color photo and published by J. Lazarus of Hyannis, Massachusetts, this card is a joyful artifact of the era when surfing culture was just beginning to sweep the East Coast, and Cape Cod's Atlantic-facing beaches were testing grounds for landlocked wave chasers.
