Wednesday 6th November - 2025
Lunch last friday at 'Next Door' in the North Cronulla Alley, with Cronulla & Sandshoes legend (left) Graham 'Reno' Gillespie, me in the middle, and Luke Madden of Surfing Australia on the right.
We were in deep discussion with Luke and Surfing Australia about their surfing 2025 Hall of Fame Awards presentation night on December 6th at the Gold Coast Convention Centre.
Finally, our life-long friend, Cronulla-based, Graham 'Sid' Cassidy will be honoured in front of the surfing world's gathered elite. Sid will be inducted into the Australian Surfing Hall of Fame with a lifetime Achievement Award for his services rendered to Surfing.
What a monumental honour for Sid.
As most of you are now aware, our one time powerhouse of surfing administration, 'Sid', is now in full-time, live-in, dementia care. He will be unable travel or to make to the gala event in his honour.
On the big night, not only will we be representing Sandshoes Boardriders and all of the surf fraternity in Cronulla and the Sutherland Shire, but the wider, mainstream pro surfing community that Sid worked so tirelessly for and held so special in his heart.
Reno and myself will be in attendance with extreme pride and honour and we will be accepting the award on the night, December 6th, 2025 on behalf of our old mate Sid.
