Cronulla Point in the 70’s and 3 names first come to mind, Jim Banks, Popout and Garry Hughes. Hughsey was the rock n roll star that laid down some big performances when the Point was at its cracking best. As the photo belows shows he was more than just a big barrel rider. Big reo photo taken by Steve Core.

Frank Latta

In the late 60’s and early 70’s Frank Latta was the hottest surfer on the Southside. What set Frank apart from others was he was able to adapt from the longboard to the short board with relative ease. Frank at the time was a highly competitive surfer and a real threat and a regular finalist in the local ametuer comps and pro ams surfing against the likes of Nat, Midget, Spencer and Lynch.
