The Point 8/03/12

Temptation

Just like the tales of  old about Sirens bewitching ancient mariners ships onto rocks the lure of Shark Island can be just as tempting. The tubes may look perfect but the reef below is not friendly and you can risk life and limb to catch a wave like this.

Originally from the South Coast Phil MacDonald a former Top 10 ASP  competitor is one of the more recent surf stars to call Cronulla home. Others included Keith Paul, Peter Townend, MP, and Martin Potter. CBC over the years have pulled in a lot of outside big names to fly the flag for the club especially during Surf League events.

Potters Point

Doesn’t get much better than this.

The Point

A lot of the older crew reckon the Point doesn’t break as good as it use to. Less sand in the bay, more seaweed on the bottom and less quality south swells are a few of the reasons given. Maybe its a case of  only remembering all the good days. This shot taken around 2010 proves that the Point can still produce the goods.

 

Cronulla Power

There’s few other Aussie  areas that can claim the raw reef power that the Cronulla beach area boasts. From Solander to Sandshoes there lies some of Australia’s heaviest waves. Reefs like Pikers, Suckrock, Voodoo, The Reefs, The Point, The Island  and Windy are responsible for The Shires reputation for producing big wave chargers. On any swell you can luck into one of the heaviest barrels right here in your own backyard. Below you wont get barrels like this at Bondi, unknown pitted at The Point around ’09 .
