Throughout the 70’s The Point was Cronulla’s most celebrated wave. It attracted all the big wave riders in the area and the local crew were a tight knit bunch. This image was from a issue of Surfing World Vol 24 No 2 in a story written and photographed by Peter Simmons on Cronulla. The shot captured many of the regular faces of that era including Greg Brissendon, Dave Shaw, Gary Hughes, Peter Glasson, The Bear, Rolf Myers and friends.

Riding for Rip Curl this advertisement shot was taken of Ross Marshall by Dave Shaw in ’82 using a water proof flash. At the time flash water photography was a whole new dimension and Dave was one of the first Aussies along with Peter Crawford to capitalise on its uniqueness.
