Joel Bonning-Middles

Long before The Bra Boys took over Solander and called it Ours and claimed it for themselves, a few Kurnell and Cronulla surfers had been riding there quietly for years and keeping it a secret. I first saw Steve Austin surfing there in the early 90s. This shot of local Elouera ripper Joel Bonning was taken sometime around early 2000 on a sizeable day at Middles.
