When the first photos of Mike Stewart began appearing in the mags in the late 80′s  surfing Waimea’s infamous shore-break it quickly became Hawaii’s latest photogenic spot that could make or break you photo Scot Winer.

 

One of Australia’s best competitors of the late 80′s and 90′s highlighted by his win at Pipeline against the cream of the sport in maxed out conditions. Steve “Macca”  Mackenzie is a true Aussie legend with a laid back down to earth personalty  which is hard to believe considering he came from Maroubra one of the most militant wave zones in OZ.
