Rubbed shoulders yesterday with Sydney surfer Steve Cooney at a curb side book launch for Andrew Crockett’s impressive Switchfoot 2 mega compendium of surfer interviews, photos and lore.
Here is soul surfer Steve, age 15, in the Falzon/Elfick surf movie Morning of the Earth, first screened in 1972.
This movie unlocked the secrets of Uluwatu and sparked a deep desire for undiscovered breaks in dreamy, far away locations. Don’t think anyone would argue that Bali has ever been the same since.
