It was in the early 80’s can’t remember what year when local boy Sid Cassidy brought the pro tour to Cronulla and Sandshoes. On this day a north east swell was running and the beaches were flat and Shoes was the only spot offering a ride-able wave. Pic below was taken early morning as competitors got fun waves at an unlikely world tour contest venue.Photo Stroh
