In this print from January 1986, we see the promising professional surfer Nigel Veitch on the cusp of making a splash in the world surf circuit. Thanks to the generous sponsorship from Scottish and Newcastle Breweries, Nigel's dreams are about to become a reality. At just 21 years old, Nigel stands tall with his surfboard in hand as he is presented with a cheque for £3000 by Reg Corbidge, the sales director of Scottish and Newcastle. This substantial amount will cover his travel expenses to compete in prestigious contests across Los Angeles, Japan, and South Africa. The image captures an exciting moment filled with hope and anticipation for what lies ahead for this talented athlete.
