Original vintage Western Surfing Association jacket personalized for noted Southern California surfing figure Bob Pace.

The back is prominently embroidered:

“President”

WESTERN SURFING ASSOCIATION U.S.A.

“Dist-3”

“Bob Pace”

Features a large embroidered Western Surfing Association surfer logo along with Bob Pace's name and leadership title.

Bob Pace is independently documented in Southern California surfing history as an official/director with the Western Surfing Association during the classic 1970s amateur surfing era. Contemporary surfing history sources also quote Pace discussing the highly successful Hole in the Wall surf team, one of the leading amateur surf teams of the period.

This jacket was acquired with additional personal Bob Pace items from the same collection, providing supporting provenance for the identification.
