named after your head....Is it because its shaped like a box....or is it more to do with what a ex member told me .

He said it indeed was to do with your head 'but a box is not always a cardboard square'' then he started ranting on about womens rude bits and some other crazy stuff that would make his mate cobra blush.

It would have been easier for me mac if just called you **** face

Great pics Bazza ! Imagine what the Harbour would have been doing on that day. I imagine you used to surf down there a fair bit when it was on. Any good pics of it?

We used to surf a place called Rolling Stones - every time you duck dived on a solid swell you could hear all the boulders getting washed around.The place next door was called Annihilations - you took off very close to some big rocks and if you went down - it could be all over. There is another wave just inside that called Tracks - after the railway that runs past the coast line. Blacks was called blacks due to the colour of the sand. And a final wave of interest called Last Chance that always seemed to have a wave when no one else did. Not a bad collection of names for a nice little isolated community. Certainly a bit more thought went into those than a few around these parts!

I did like those "nulla ones though. Northern beaches spots are pretty dull in comparison Little Narra - the small beach just north of Narra !

The Womb - nothing warm and welcoming about this joint.

The Other Side of the Moon - hippies in the 70s named this joint. Who knows.

Three Bears - see above, although Tom Hoye hired the tractor that put the first track in so I could ask him.

Hells Gates - no idea its origins.

Poo Shooters - an outer reef we had for 9 years before we saw anyone else out there. Now infested with tow in knobs and apparently renamed The Passage (I think). I preferred our name as it was what it made you do. A legitimately big and powerful wave in my hometown which is not renowned for big nor powerful waves.
