As a Cancer care nurse, one of the first people I cared for in the home, was a dude called Michael from Mt Ommaney in Brissy. Just before he died, his mum mentioned he was always a keen surfer, and we pulled out some old photo albums circa Michael Peterson era. I have been to many funerals, the words I remember most come from Michael's...as above, not the great MP's. His best mate said...'every time the Southeasterly blows, we will remember you, and I still do'...Way to go Sanga, Michael wasn't so lucky, he went out slow with a Syringe Driver. If I could plan my last moments, I'd be up for a long head dip too, Avoca is honored to have been your final resting place...s...

great surfer, a fine gentleman to boot.

Crazy fucker behind the wheel, he drove back from a Straddie trip one time, ducking, weaving & hitting 170-180, it was terrifying. 'think him and Ross had their own private top gear leaders board happening.

Loved a hash pipe.

I am very honored...I didn't even know this had happened at my local break.
Its very fitting that such a great surfer died at such a great beach.
Condolences to the family and friends of 'Sanga'

yes '' Sanga'' i knew the young mark from state teams, i was a master in several nsw teams [over 35]it was a privilege to watch these young guns at work in the waves pushing limits, way too young to go if you must take any thing good out of his demise at least he died doing something he loved
