Who’s got the Power?

This is still one of the craziest Cronulla tubes ever captured on film. Gerry “Popout” Manion at Cronulla Point Easter Saturday 1977 shot by Greg Button with a Nikonos II camera which appeared in “Surf” magazine “Who’s got the Power” issue. This article exposed the powerful reef waves around the Nulla and proved once and for all that the Southside is a wave power magnet.

Occys comeback
Posted: October 3, 2010 at 9:39 am
Around the mid 90’s Occy came out of retirement after a period in hibernation. After piling on the kilos he climbed back on his roach approach thruster and started his climb back up to the top of surfings pro ranks. This shot was snapped down at Garie during a secret session, the extra weight that he was carrying sure didn’t slow him down.

The late great Andrew Murphy barreled at Uluwatu, Bali early 90’s. One of the best tube riders to ever come out of Cronulla
