Nugget The Alley

Troy Dennehy

Cronulla has lost several talented surfers long before their time. Names like Bobby Brown, Andrew Murphy, Geoff Solness and Troy Dennehy are just a few who have left their mark etched deep in Cronulla surf history and hearts. At  The Alley at Northies, Nugget is still so revered that his name appears from time to time on graffiti around the beach. This shot was taken at The Wall of Nugget around 1990 by Chris Stroh.

Every Beach has its main men who have earnt the respect of their peers over the years. Narrabeen had Simon Anderson, Pipe had Gerry Lopez at The Alley it was the late “Nugget” Dennehy who ruled the roost in and out of the surf. Someone smart once said, “Nugget would be world champ if only they held all the comps out  at The Alley”. Nugget backside pivot photo by Chris Stroh late 80’s
