The guys who were just a older then us were hardcore these guys did stuff nobody was doing. Guys like Charles Wilson, Craig Greening come to mind he was part of a guys made up of Gordon Turnbull, this guys surfed better than everyone and I think could have taken the world by storm. He did moves that others had only dreamed of, but he was crazy as was the rest of their crew. I remember getting a lift home with them once after a heavy night of jolling, they drove 100km on a freeway and were climbing out of the car, crawling over the hood and changing seats with the driver. Gordon won the Bear International surf contest and he won a car a week later he gave me a lift home in his new car but decided to reverse the whole way. These were some of the crazy things these guys did. They were always pushing the limits and sometimes they paid the price. But they were later the reason alot of us younger guys came though the ranks and pushed the limits. They were our inspiration at the time and they did things that just kept us all going these dudes are so crazy. There were others like Alfie Saville who was the clean cut surfer who landed a huge modelling contract and travel the world. He too could have become a great surfer he also surfed amazingly.
