Kev Cassidy

Before Boogs and Jezza began their backhand assault on Shark Island and Banksy was mostly off overseas surfing some exotic reef location Kevin Cassidy was the standout goofyfoot taking on the Islands notorious steps and ledges. Its hard enough front-side when the wall begins to buckle and warp but for Kev the rewards were worth the occasional thumping. This photo taken mid to late 80’s shows Kevin hitting some hurdles the type of which make the Island so challenging, photo by Chris Stroh.
