70 years ago this week from the July 25, 1949 cover story PLASTIC BEACH BOAT. According to LIFE, “The girl being pitched out of the plastic boat on LIFE’s cover is 18-year-old Janet Sims, daughter of a merchant marine officer. A moment later Janet was upside down in the breakers with the boat on top of her. On other rides the waves bucked and spun the boat making her dizzy bu leaving her high and dry on the sand. Janet lives in The Bronx, New York and is proud of her ability to speak her parents’ native Esthonian.” This photo was shot in Daytona Beach, Florida.
