Wanda lifeguard Chris Iredale earned a name for himself in the 80’s and 90’s for charging Shark Island on the biggest days. Chris approach saw him take the drop and line up the barrels with the cleanest lines and then pray. Photo Chris Stroh.

In the 80’s Chris Iredale was at the peak of his surfing powers and he was especially at his best at getting barreled at Shark Island on the biggest and heaviest days. Back then the scores of boogies were far and few and Chris had his big wave line down and made the deadly slabs look easy to make. Anyone who has surfed the Island when its slabbing knows how difficult it is to ride this wave. Chris had it mastered. Photo Tim Vanderlaan.

As a lifeguard for several decades, Chris Iredale has probably spent more time in and around the waves at Cronulla Beach than anyone else. A red hot surfer in his own right, Chris has spent much of that time inside barrels looking out. This shot of Iredale was taken at The Point around ’79 by Chris Stroh.

Big Wednesday at Shark Island
Posted: October 19, 2012 at 10:59 am
When the Island or Point pumps the headland acts as a natural arena and it allows the perfect vantage point to watch all the action. Most big swells a large crowd will gather and it creates that Big Wednesday type feel about it. This swell in the early 90’s actually hit on a Wednesday and Chris Iredale was there to make the most of it. Story appeared in Tracks and photographed by Chris Stroh
