Late 70s and early 80’s Ross Marshall was king of the beach breaks between the Alley and Wanda. With a clean unforced style he took his high performance act to the rest of Australia and was a dominant force in the State and Aussie titles helping to put Cronulla on the map after a long competitive drought.

Les Martin was one of the new kids at The Point when this shot was snapped by Peter Solness around ’76. Along with the White Brothers, Popout, Gary Hughes and Matt Woodcock, the new kids were fearless. Les was a standout at both macking Point and Shark Island. From a Surfing World story on Cronulla.

When this pic was taken in the mid 80’s Stuart was one of the top male models in Australia and was always featured in mags and TV advertisements. His work had him travelling all over the place. This shot was taken at Wanda after he just returned from a shoot. Photo Stroh

Glen Pringle spent a large chunk of his life living in Bando rd just a few 100 metres from Elouera Beach. With dad Brian a keen surfer it was only natural Glen would follow. This shot taken around the mid 80’s was right when Glen was making a name for himself outside of Cronulla. Photo Stroh

Mark Munro

In the very early days of Island history Mark Munro a kneeboarder along with Steve Doheny who was a mat rider and Chaz McCall a bodyboarder the trio of test pilots took on mutant Shark Island and showed what could be ridden and what could not. Mark was fearless and on many days when it was deemed unrideable he’d be out there alone. This shot from the mid 70’s was by Simo (I think).
