It’s circa late 80’s during the “moustache era” when we all tried to look like Magnum !?

The board was a 6ft 5″ Willis Brothers thruster I bought back from Hawaii and it went unreal out the point. (I’ve still got it) I’m sure the shot was taken by, and given to me by Butto back in the crazy 80’s.

One of those cold, clean winter groundswell days when it’s barreling from 2nd reef right on through 1st reef to the cutback section, and the tube stays open all the way.

What a buzz it was to come flying through the tube section and see Butto out on the shoulder with his trusty Nikonos and his big old grin.One of the nicest blokes I ever met amongst the Cronulla surf crew.

I remember raging on with Butto at many dodgy Cronulla parties, Toga nights, Pyjama Parties, etc with Dick Bent & The Bentnicks providing the sounds.

What I wouldn’t give to go back to those outrageous times again. Words by Larry Cohenlarry650
