A great mini reunion in Cronulla yesterday at the 'Next Door Cafe' in the Alley at North Cronulla for three old salty surf mates from yesteryear in Cronulla.
Once red hot Cronulla goofy footer, Mick Anastas, better known as simply 'MA', who these days lives in Seminyak, Bali and Graham 'Reno' Gillespie once part of the ruling masters in the Sandshoes line-up. Or as Peter 'PT' Townend calls them, the 'Sandshoes Mafia'. And of course myself.

| A rare catch-up for three lifelong Cronulla surf mates at the Next Door Cafe in Cronulla. Steve Core left, Mick 'MA' Anastas in the middle. Graham 'Reno' Gillespie on the right. Plenty of re-lived tall tales and true from the legendary past were dissected and the fun times were discussed and laughed about. Photo: A self-timed selfie by me. |
Also I've included below, the Taren Point-based Gordon & Smith surfboard advertisement from 1975. We all get a nod in this famous glossy magazine ad that truly bonds us all together. So 50-years ago.

The theme of the ad features former World Champion Peter 'PT' Townend as
the headline act, the big star for G&S in the middle (naturally),
surrounded by lots a of smaller stars.
They include a lot of famous old Cronulla surfing personalities
(all good friends to this day) including, you guessed it, 'Reno', 'MA' and myself.

By the way, that big photo in the middle of PT, locked inside in a spinning vortex barrel at Kirra Point is a water shot by me.
