HISTORY

In November 82  Australia’s best gathered at Dee Why Beach for the first official Aussie Title. It was Evan Penglis who stole the show and won the first prize of a ticket to Hawaii to compete in the first Morey Boogie World Championship at Pipeline in a few weeks time. Queenslands queen of the waves Julie Rowbotham won the Womans division and also a ticket to Pipe. The only thing was there was no Womens division in the Hawaiian event so Julie was forced to surf against the men.
