I have always loved and lived near the sea. All through my life I have gone to the sea to find that invisible comfort when life has confronted me with problems. So it was no surprise that when modern day surfing began I did everything in my power to get involved in it. It’s been more than 40 years since I rode my first wave at New Surfers on the South Coast of Fleurieu Peninsula.

When the surfing explosion began in the 60’s most guys packed their boards on their cars and headed east and west, looking for uncrowded breaks. A lot of the beaches around the Australian coastline are now named after what some of these strange explorers first called them, “Cactus” is a classic example. This site is somewhat dedicated to those early surfing friends of mine and the rest is travelling and surfing today.
