THE CHEADLES
I moved to Culburra Beach from the western suburbs of Sydney with my parents when I was 11 and that’s when I started to surf. I’m 60 now. I started a plumbing apprenticeship and then married my wife Kerry, who now works at the Aboriginal Health Services at South Nowra.
Plumbing is a prick of a surf shop for sale; it only had a few surf brands. We bought it in 1997 when my son Josh was three and we kept if for 13 years. It was hard work to build it up–seven days a week–and we took nothing out of it, but it supported our family and our lifestyle.
