Store-a-board
Posted: November 24, 2011 at 7:05 pm
Store-a-board shops were popular back in the 60’s and 70’s as they looked after your surfboard for a small weekly charge. It saved all the Westy kids lugging their sticks back home by train every weekend.Wez King used to manage one. This advertisement appeared in Surfabout magazine.

The Bear as he was known around the beaches of Cronulla was a bit of a hometown hero. Rob was one of the founding members of Cronulla Point Boardriders and was a regular fixture in the lineup every pumping swell. In 1994 to the shock of friends the ever bubbly and popular Bear took his own life. The very next day the swell pumped. The photo below was from a Surfing Life story dedicated to Bear. Rip.

Harey is one of those underground chargers that can be usually found at every heavy wave spot whenever its going off. Back around the time this was taken at Shark Island, Harey reckons that I only ever seemed to snap him getting worked. Well here ya go . Late 80’s by Stroh

One of The Point regular crew during their celebrated glory days period in the mid 70’s. I played on the same basketball team as Greg, he was a big boy and just as intimidating out of the water. The Point photo Steve Core.
