When Mick was a Cronulla boy he was best known for his classy tube riding and flowing style out at reefs like The Island and The Point. Back in the mid 80’s on the beachies he could mix up his moves with the best of them.Photo Stroh

No wonder Cronulla surfers are so proud of their waves. We have some of the best reefs on the East Coast that produce all shape and size conditions. This spot was the full secret spot when this shot of Dog was snapped around mid 80s riding his Daniel Surfboard and Peak Wetty, photo Chris Stroh.

Cronulla has a history of producing fine goofy foots, some blame it on The Alley Rip Bowl. In the 80’s Craig Naylor was one of the cream of the Southside. Pic Stroh

Occy ’83
Posted: March 10, 2012 at 9:50 am
Occy was out this day at Midway, this was when he was just starting to blow up riding his Banksy and sponsored by Peak. It was only small but clean and he was surfing a left rip bowl. I swam out and first wave he was right on top of me, I don’t even know if he knew I was there. Anyway the smart thing to do was to dive under the wave or risk having my head taken off. Well I must have been feeling extra stupid this day as he hit the lip I snapped it with my Nikonos as he sailed overhead. When he landed I felt his fins just brush my back as I tried to get away. Another near miss . Words and photos Chris Stroh.
