Thanks Monty I didn't know him either but yeh good surfer for me anyway it was mind blowing.
Story was it was after a trip he did O/S around late sixies I think.

Just throught I would start off with this story that happened a few years back. Out surfing my local headland with about 6-7 locals getting some insane waves. During a lull we where all siting off the ledge when I noticed a splash way up the beach from where we were surfing then another a bit close ...

If you are walking distance from the beach why take anything other than your board anyway :?: As Dan said take an old towel with you, ware a daggy old shirt, get a leg rope with a key pocket in it and put any money in it and put the zinc on before you leave home. Not much to steal them. Who wares $9...

Kelly Slater didn't become 6 times would champ for his good looks, the guy has class, style and GUTS in the water, it would have been a good session to watch.

Thanks Agro - no one surfed that in my time but a mate of mine use to live opposite shoes when I went to school there and got a few sessions in there with my dunlops on . broken shin that would hurt a bit. Good to see you made the switch.

Hay Agro I grew up in Cronulla but haven't surfed there since 1971 so could you help me out here and tell us where Tretch in Cronulla is ?

Whats the worst surf injury that you had and how long did it up put you out of the water. For me I hand a good size lip slam my back knee flat into the deck of my board while doing a bottom turn going for an insane barrel that put me out of action for 8 months. Blew up lick a ballon. Had to walk no ...

Thanks oldman and I would have to go a long with you that the regulars you may see at a spot may not actually live there. what with land prices these days.
