From the pages of Steve Cores “Surf Magazine” that was around in the late 70’s. Gary Hughes carving for Dave Shaw’s camera lens. Core’s mag was chock full of Cronulla based riders and waves and it gave the Southside some much deserved recognition and a breath of fresh air rather than the usual Northside push in all the other Oz publications at the time.

Not sure where the name Voodoo came from but with a desolate and unforgiving coastline its no wonder Captain Cook did’t land here. The reef itself is just as intimidating and lives up to its eerie reputation with regular reminders that this is one wave you don’t take for granted as this surfer below is about to find out.

Ross pulls in at a spot that rarely gets photographed but is a favourite with those in the know. It may only break properly a few times a year but when it does a core bunch of surfers are right on it. Photo of Ross early 80’s by Chris Stroh

Voodoo Wrecks

Voodoo has long been a dumping ground for old trashed vehicles. This once loved and faithful old abandoned surf cruiser is now retired to a lonely fate of rust and decay.
