Steve Core – A Natural Flow

Growing up Steve’s dad ran Bondi movie theatre so  its not surprising Corey gained a interest in filmmaking. A Natural Flow was his first attempt at making a surf movie around ’71. It was the first of two 16mm films shot during this period. Steve’s films featured some of the first images of Cronulla waves.

Glenn Pringle – Strike Force

Glenn made his debut on video in Tim Bonythons video “Strike Force”. The film featured all the current Piping Hot team. This day Glenn and I headed over to Narrabeen to meet up and shoot footage with Tim. The waves were cracking and the shot below was from a 4 shot seq. Photo Chris Stroh mid 80’s.

 

Color Of Thought by Peter Glassen

Local big wave charger Glasso branched out on his own in the early seventies producing his own brand of surfboards called Color of Thought. The adv below featured in Tracks in ’71.

Mark Mathieson.

American Mark was a familiar face around the local contest scene throughout the 80’s. A school teacher by trade Mark was the announcer and judge on most local pro-ams and amateur comps as well as one of EBC elders always lending a hand in running events. With his typical Californian accent he was hard to miss. This shot Mark surfing in the Senior mens division Circa 80’s. 

Storm Damage at Southies

1950 a huge swell demolished the sea wall at South Cronulla. It wont be the last time that mother nature takes its course.

Boogs @ Voodoo

Daryl has a rep around Cronulla as a surfer who doesn’t pull back. This shot is No2 in a 8 shot sequnce that he makes. The wave looks more like Pipe or big Ulu rather than a day  at Cronulla. Photo Stroh Circa 90’s.

 

Jason Marsh

Another one of the Kurnell boys before he headed north to Queensland. As the older brother of Richard Dog Marsh, Jason was a role model for his young sibling and in coming years acted as a sometime coach/manager helping to  keep his younger sibling on the right path. This shot  taken at Blackrock photo Stroh around the mid 80’s.
