During the 70, 80’s and 90’s Butto was one of Cronulla’s top water photographers. It was Gregs shot of Gerry Manion at The Point that introduced the surf world to Cronulla’s ample wave power. Besides photography Butto was also pretty skilled and riding his kneelo and was a regular pulling in at The Point and Island. This shot of Butto was taken at The Point in the late 70’s by Chris Stroh

Luke was one of The Points more vocal locals in the 70’s. For non regulars getting faded into the rocks was an every day occurence back then. If you wern’t one of the regular knock around crew then this is what you got. Pic Chris Stroh

Cronulla has its fair share of powerful hollow barrels. Some of these reefs break way out on the horizon where only the fearless dare to go. Jeremy Hrbac is one local who doesn’t mind a challenge. Pic below offshore reef shot taken of Jezza hooking in around 1990 by Chris Stroh
