Friends of Lee Pegus are invited to celebrate the life and legacy of the much loved local surf photographer with an old-style slide night. The team over at Surf World Gold Coast have poured through Lee’s archives and filled a few carousels with the top picks of his remarkable body of work, which provides a rich document of surfing on the Gold Coast in the 80s and 90s and high points from his travels to Hawaii and beyond.

Lee’s fondly remembered as the long time photo editor for Surfing Life magazine and a man who treasured memorable surfing images and earned the trust and affection of everyone who worked with him. He was a Surfers Paradise identity in the 60s as a stylish goofyfoot, model and super fashionable guy who became one of the best photo editors in the country. Make your way to Surf World Gold Coast on May 25 to celebrate Lee’s legacy and incredible work.
