Surfers at Submarine Lagoon in Disneyland

Some sweet beach gear was given away as prizes as part of the April 1963 Spring Fling event at Disneyland Park—so naturally, California college students Carla Calhoun and Tim Tilman had to try out the surfboards in the Tomorrowland Submarine Lagoon, despite the lack of surf. Other prizes included water skiing and skin diving equipment and even a 1946 “Woodie” completely restored for beach enthusiasts. No word if Carla and Tim took the Woodie out for a test ride on the Autopia track.
