Not sure Stu,......never saw him standing next to anyone...... but it was a pretty intense barrel shot....for the time...
...
Gerry Manion is a Cronulla legend.
That's the one Wally.......Thanks mate......
Pretty sure it was center spread of a seppo mag to boot...
and the nearest jet ski is 40 years away
Easter 1977
Don't suppose you could pull up the shot of MP when he was forced to go backdoor pipe........Hawaiian chaps wouldn't let him go left ......Used to be poster size glossy....
77 ish as well....
Yeah megzee i know that guy hes a champ i think he posts on here sometimes. Still charging and racing mitsubishi evo's. always has manners and grace in the surf and still charging.
That is my all time, number 1 favourite surf photo EVER! And that's saying something. I have loved that shot for years.
PS- Not Shark Island, Cronulla Point I believe. Stu can confirm.
@Groundswell, really great to hear that mate, manners and grace are always reciprocated with respect...
@Zenagain....Geez, you might be right, come to think of it. I stared at the piccy on my wall for years.....Single fin, no wetty, and probably no leggy...
Yep, it's the Point.
The wave is actually only 8ft, he just makes it look bigger.

Cheers Udo....74 sounds about right.....
When he kicked out and started paddling back out his hands touched Coral..
Yeah, but MP's arms were about 5 foot long......
There was a photo of MP surfing backdoor pipe. I think it was in Surfing World. It is definitely the same board. It is very possibly the same wave. The tagline was something like, MP flew into Honolulu, drove to the North Shore and paddled out at Pipe. Within 2 hours of arriving in Hawaii, this was his first wave.
Yep thats the one.
Back in those days, you didn’t get the blanket coverage of the North Shore season like you get now. You would get some photos and a few articles. I remember after that MP visit, in a season review, an Hawaiian legend saying MP was taking off deeper and drawing sharper lines than anyone else on the North Shore.
Same trip he dropped in on Ben Aipa out Sunset ...Later on the beach Ben punched MPs fin out...his hand hurt so MP copped one in the Mouth ..
Not to mention torchin up a big fat one on the plane on the way over.....with a few pints of resin in his carry on bag......
Might have to dig out my MP book again...
Gerry 'Popout' Manion!
Good blast from the past!

Whale watching on the Christies cam -
Some pretty cool sparkle on the tiny Trigs peelers -
Nice, also, scroll 1 minute in, dolphins sharing the waves! https://www.swellnet.com/surfcams/triggs/replays
Wonder if that wave at Noosa that mowed 7 punters down could be inserted in this thread?
