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.

When Team Manta embarked on a tour of Australias most southern Island they had no idea what to expect. Ross Hawke and Wingnut were the first two Pro riders to venture down to the Apple Isle and were blown away by the quality untapped bodyboarding waves that greeted them. Plus the dedicated local crew, a few even surfed in the icy waters without wetsuits. This shot Wingnut and The Hellman watch as huge swells pound the rugged Tassie coasline. Photo Stroh ’90
