From the infamous Maroubra Beach, long before The Bra Boy gang came into existence, Hellman Hawke along with Evan Penglis, Steve Macca, PJ Hyland and the rest of the MBA club ruled the waves,  it was a virtual stronghold of bodyboarding talent back in the late 80′s.

The King of Monavale, Matt “Chopper” Riley had the style moves down and was one of Australia’s first widely acclaimed 2nd Generation bodyboarding stars.
