Night Surfing
Posted: June 5, 2011 at 3:18 pm
Night surfing came to town in 84 at the Beaurapaires event. The worlds best battled it out under massive floodlights brought in for the occasion unfortunately the waves didnt co operate and the night surfing was barred from future events because of crowd problems with local residents. This shot Tom Curren taken byPeter Crawford from Waves Mag.

In the early 80’s South African Martin Potter was one the most explosive surfers in the world, it was around this time he moved to Cronulla and when he wasnt competing on tour could often be found out at all the local spots like this fun day at nameless reef. Photo Chris Stroh
