Cape Solander

Cape Solander - Home and Away

It may have been the Maroubra fellas that broke it to the mainstream but it was Cronulla surfers that were the first to ride Cape Solander. They surfed it for four or five years, joined by a few bodyboarders, among them Cronulla legend, Steve Doney. Later on, in the 1980's, a group of Cronulla bodyboarders began surfing it and gave it the name Cape Fear (or Deniro's).

Kelly Slater - The Cape Crusader

Surfing's own Superhero threaded a few tricky pits during a fly-in fly-out session at the Botany Bay reefbreak during the recent run of swell in Sydney. Grant Trouvile was on hand to film three of his waves.//STUART NETTLE

Pikers Hole

Cape Fear, Cape Solander, Ours....Sydney's heaviest waves has had many monikers but its original name - first given to it in 1968 - is the one that I like best: Pikers Hole. Despite it's reputation as the thickest and shallowest wave around, Pikers Hole was overshadowed on the weekend by it's lesser siblings.
