Unknown gets immortalised on the front cover of the January issue of Tracks ’80 by pulling in at The Point while Dave Shaw happened to be floating in the impact zone with his trusty Nikonos camera.

Sean Charters was one of the most talented surfers among The Alley Boys who on occasions dragged himself away from the Rip Bowl if the waves were calling. This day Sean lucked into a solid reef session. Mid 80’s photo Chris Stroh.

Choco

One of the talented kneeboard fanatics of the late 70’s who was drawn to Cronulla’ Points hollow tubes for obvious reasons, Choco was one of the chosen regular crew who ruled the lineup. Here Simo captured him skirting under the lip at the infamous Cabbage Patch from the pages of Tracks early 80’s.

Occy @ Home

Occy grew up surfing the reefs around Cronulla and its no wonder that he formed a love for powerful waves right here at home with so much wave grunt on offer. I shot this pic with my Century 650 lens by wading out to the rocks just off from the right which was cut off by the higher tide. This position allowed we to get close enough and a different low angle. Words and pic by Chris Stroh around ’84.

Richard Dog Marsh was another of Cronulla’s famous Goofyfoots. Right up there in the same company as local legends like Pete Smith, Banksy, Occy, Craig Naylor, Fanga, Greeny, Murph and Andy King to name just a few, Dog was one hell of a cacky foot tube rider . This shot was taken at one of those reefs that is better left unnamed. Photo Chris Stroh Mid to late 80’s.

Ross pulls in at a spot that rarely gets photographed but is a favourite with those in the know. It may only break properly a few times a year but when it does a core bunch of surfers are right on it. Photo of Ross early 80’s by Chris Stroh

Voodoo Wrecks

Voodoo has long been a dumping ground for old trashed vehicles. This once loved and faithful old abandoned surf cruiser is now retired to a lonely fate of rust and decay.
Greeny @ The Point.
