Young Alby along with Occy, Greeny and Dog were a strong competitive force in the 80’s. The Nulla Goofyfoots were winning everything in sight and while the others veered towards careers in pro surfing Alby took a different course and ended up on the far North Coast. This shot at Wanda by Stroh mid 80s.

Shaun Smith aka Smurf (not Shane) as credited in the photo was a charger back in the day taking on the Point backside or disappearing out to Voodoo. Smurf was straight out of the 70’s Animal era who lived to surf. Occasionally I’d see Smurf at Voodoo after he’d walked out there from Wanda. This shot of Shaun was taken by Peter Simons who was a hot goofyfoot himself,taken at Midway late 70’s.

Surfer and Shaper extraordinaire there’s not much Roachy doesn’t know about Cronulla’s history as he has been an integral part of the industry for most of his life and is probably best known for his Roach Approach shapes. “Winning” at Midway for the Southside State eliminations photo Stroh Circa mid 80s.

The late Andrew Murphy had a reputation as a experienced barrel rider, with all the reefs around Cronulla its not hard to understand why. This shot was taken late 80’s by Chris Stroh at one of his fav local spots.

Occy at home in The Nulla using maximum leg torque to demolish this wave. No wonder he was called the “Powder Keg on legs” by a jorno. Photo Stroh early 90’s
