Tom Curren scores the cover of Waves during the Beaurepaires Contest held at Elouera, mid 80’s. Back in those days waiting periods and good wave venues were far and few, it was more based on crowd pulling power to make the sponsors happy. Cronulla locals didn’t care they were just stoked to see the worlds best surfing their home breaks. Photo Peter Crawford.

This shot was taken around mid 80’s when Tom Curren and Occy were full on competitive rivals and each were being looked on at the time as the future of surfing. Shot at The Wall, Curren about to pop his fins early morning warm up session. Photo Chris Stroh

Night Surfing
Posted: October 16, 2010 at 6:04 pm
It was at the 1984 Beaurepaires Surfing Open that night surfing was introduced. Thousands turned out on the Saturday night to see the worlds best under lights. The night was a huge success except the waves were non existent. It had a surreal atmosphere. Somebody told the top riders that footballers use boot polish under their eyes to minimise glare in night games. Here Tom Curren and Martin Potter go a little overboard with the war paint.
