Nanaimo Bathtub Race Old School!

No fancy equipment here, Just slap a motor on your old bathtub, strap it to a surfboard and go! There is a common theme that starts to become apparent with old home movies. A total different mind set when it came to safety. Nobody wore helmets (or life jackets as you can see in this clip). This clip is said to be from the very first bathtub race in Nanaimo!
This photo shows a modern tubber and all the gear they now wear.
