Spike was one of Cronullas favorite sons of the Eighties. From maxing Point to competing with CBC he had a world of respect photo taken at Wanda by Chris Stroh.

Spike was one of the top grom competitors in the early 80’s. While most of his peers chased trophies young Spike showed a real passion for Cronulla’s powerful barrels and earned a reputation as a charger at The Point and the Island . This shot of Spike was taken around the same time at first reef Point early morning on a smaller fun size day photo Stroh.

The caption read…Richard James slotted. Throughout the late 70’s and 80’s Cronulla was blessed with plenty of surfing talent and also plenty of great surf photographers. Very few beaches can claim the amount of talented water photographers that Cronulla has produced during this period. Peter Simons who took the classic shot below of Spike was one of the best.
