after ripping the fins out off my channell bottom i was picking it up from al byrnes when he told me off a sydney kneelo who blew his mind at G land in the eighties. riding deep in the barrell and huge carving turns. i rattled off all the names i could think off but none off those rung a bell but all he could recall was he was a oakley rep or similar. an i,d would be great because the stories of this bloke sounded awesome. any ideas ??????

I would say Ken Horton, he was as an extra gifted junior surfer in the 70s and i can imagine him blowing minds at Gland and he was from Sydney s northern beaches (Mona Vale)
Kevin Barr was a great surfer from Queensland which can never qualify him as from Sydney ,cant think of any other contenders

The surf info website says Ken Horton was with Oakley as well. That google thingy is amazing.
