North Cronulla Surf Club
Posted: January 25, 2016 at 5:05 pm
The original North Cronulla Surf Club was once described as the “finest surf club on the coast”. Built over the beach in October 1937 it stood for only 8 years. Once built, the surf club was battered by a succession of storms in the 1940’s. A huge storm in August 1946 struck the fatal blow. The club could not be saved and was soon after demolished. The new surf club was rebuilt further back in Dunningham Park in 1950, and this is the current location of the surf club now. The image “1946” shows where the old club would have been built.

May 1979 Peter Britton. Kneeboraders had the ability to take off late and therefore could be way inside of the stand ups, however the punishment at the end of this wave was severe. Tim Vanderlaan photos.
