Tom Curren scores the cover of Waves during the Beaurepaires Contest held at Elouera, mid 80’s. Back in those days waiting periods and good wave venues were far and few, it was more based on crowd pulling power to make the sponsors happy. Cronulla locals didn’t care they were just stoked to see the worlds best surfing their home breaks. Photo Peter Crawford.
