Agatha Christie with her surfboard…

Caption from the Museum of British Surfing…

A wonderful portrait of Agatha Christie on Waikiki beach, Hawaii in 1922 – she was travelling with her first husband Archie (a pilot in the Flying Corps in WWI) – and mastered stand-up surfing, becoming one of the earliest Briton’s known to do so.
