Many people with long memories still believe Pete Smith from the Animal days in the 70’s was one of the hottest surfers to ever ride  the waves at Cronulla . He was right up there with Bobby Brown and Occy in talent, he is still sadly missed. Photo Rob King ’78.

Easily one if not the hottest surfer/shaper to come out of Cronulla during the late 70’s. The naturally talented goofyfoot along with Ross Marshall, Craig Naylor and Jim Banks brought a new competitive edge to the Southside beaches. This shot of Smithy was taken at Blackrock in 81. Pete was riding his Emerald shaped single fin pintail with red rails. A true waste of talent when he was taken far too young. R.I.P
