Having an older brother named Rod who surfed and shaped surfboards probably had a lot to do with Mel Katis taking up surfing and competing with EBC. Throughout the 80’s young Mel was one of the best girl riders in the Cronulla area. Melisa went onto to fashion design and for a time was involved heavily with Quiksilver. This shot late 80s riding for Express surfboards at Garie. Photo Stroh
