For a good part of the twentieth century the councils that patrolled those beaches wanted the skittle boards, and the surfboards, kept clear of the swimmers, and this enamel sign is that by-law. Chrome yellow with a white keyline and plain black letters, made to be read from the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the wording that stops you now. The surfboard is still with us; the skittle board has all but gone, a small vanished pleasure of the bayside summer, ridden where the sand runs out flat and hard at Williamstown or Altona. The sign came from a Williamstown estate, though the exact beach it once warned is not written down. We have mounted it on a reclaimed hardwood frame through its own fixing holes, nothing new drilled. We could not find another like it anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KILL OR BE KILLED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43683466707057,"sku":"KOBK.26.ART.019","price":895.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/5800\/9201\/files\/Skittle_Board_Hero-straightened.jpg?v=1784708776","url":"https:\/\/kobk.online\/products\/enamel-beach-by-law-sign-skittle-boards-surfboards-prohibited","provider":"KILL OR BE KILLED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
