Yes, that's him aka Golly, my dad. He sadly passed away in 2015. It's really cool to hear from someone who knew him personally, first time in a long time. I actually came across some pics on a post Ric Burnup made. If you have any memories you'd like to share, I'd really appreciate it my name's Teagan, I'm one of his daughters, Ill share the pics when im allowed as new member


Saw those pictures in the gallery Teagan. They are from the PNG crossing, pretty sure it was Peter Briggs was the third guy with Golly and Ric. I think he used to live at Clifton beach. I seem to remember Golly wasn't real happy as they were given the Mistral Pan Ams to use for the crossing and he was hoping they would be able to keep them but they had to give them back.

Golly did a crossing from the tip of Cape York to PNG the year before as well, don't know if they filmed it. Think it was Elysse Waring and maybe Rick Burnup( could have the spelling of the names wrong ) did the Tassie trip with him. Had some adventures with Golly on the NQ Funboard circuit and the PRO contest at Coolangatta back in the mid 80's. He followed the East Coast PRO contests in late 1984 and filmed a lot of it.
