Gary Green and Cronulla photographer Peter Simmons were a formidable team when it came to getting the “money shot.” This Blackrock tube ended up as a double spread in Surfing Mag and then a Piping Hot poster in ’84. Note the camouflage wetty. Pic Simmo.

By 1982 when this pic of Jim Banks was taken his reputation for barrel riding is unsurpassed. After a prestigous win at The Om Bali pro contest at Uluwatu the lanky goofyfoot is admired around the globe for his uncanny tube riding skills. Photo Peter Simmons from Tracks.

Nulla boys like Ross Marshal, Craig Naylor and Barry Tyte dominated the amateur contest scene in the early 80’s and helped put Cronulla back on the surfing map.
