A link to the past
If you have a closer look at the bench against the club wall here you might think it’s the same one where one of the greatest surfers of the longboard era sat and sunned himself over sixty years ago. He’s long gone now and rarely remembered but for a few of us who were youngsters when this bloke was in his prime and are now pushing eighty.
Age creeps, then rushes.

We used to paddle around the Mackenzie headland, convinced Tamarama would welcome a couple of Bondi youths onto their soft little lefts when we had nothing to offer, only to be rudely abused and told to fuck the fuck off from where we came from from Mayes and his cohorts . In later years we used this same rude admonition to banish anyone from anywhere other from Byron Bay to kindly do the same.
