When this profile of Doug Robson appeared in Waves in the late ’80s it blew minds. The free-fall was state of the art and at the time Doug was on fire. Dougy was Australias next big thing and was pushing the limits with his charging and airs. Doug’s career a few years later was cut short when he broke his back at his beloved Shark Island in a back slamming wipeout on the reef.
