Avoca’s Tim Jones was the best known Central Coast bodyboarder in the late 80′s and early 90′s long before he became infamous for his Waimea charging. Jonesy was competing on the amateur and pro comps including Pipe and doing okay until an incident one day at Manly when he was banned from competing for causing a bit of party mayhem the night before his heat.. TJ had more sponsors and stickers than any other Aussie at the time, carve shot by Stroh

This day was classic, Eppo , Bullet and myself were cruising the mid north coast on a photo/video mission when a cyclone swell hit in the early 90′s. Forster area is not renown for big waves and was closing out except for this one reef that was pretty much all time. Eppo and Bullet charged it and the word got out at the local school and before we knew it the headland was full of kids, the teachers let classes out so the pupils could watch 2 of Aus greats tear up their local spot..photo and words Stroh.
