Macca has long been a part of the close knit Sandshoes crew ever since he began surfing in the 60’s. His involvement in surfing goes right back to when his dad Alex owned the first Store-a-board surf shop at where Little Italy restaurant is today. Macca also was secretary for the St George Boardriders Club back in there heyday. Macca is still a keen longboard surfer but has more recently also found his other passion documenting and stoking out the local crew with his videos and photos in what he describes as “Just for Fun”. Below Macca back in ’67 riding his dad Alex’s board and today behind camera at his beloved Shoes.
