When its big Cronulla Point is not an easy place to surf. The takeoff can be vertical as the waves jack as the swells hit 2nd reef and the bottom half of the wave disappears as you scramble to your feet. Even harder (unless your Jim Banks) on your backside like this uknown surfer is about to find out. After taking this pic as the guy nose dived,I ducked under the surface and could hear his board breaking loudly in two on impact under the waves. Photo taken around ‘late 70’s by Stroh.
