RIP Scott Dillon.. passed away at 90. Bought a few boards off him in my younger days. Once watched him and Dave Jackman go out at North Steyne to ride the Queenscliff Bombie. No one else in the water. I gave them no chance of even getting out through the monster surf. The sea seemed to make a gentle winding passageway as they casually paddled between giant waves. You couldn’t see them the waves were so big and I was expecting to see their gun boards washed end over end to shore. Then Scott caught a monster all the way to shore and just strolled up the beach It was absolutely amazing to watch the whole thing It was like it was stage managed for them.
Pretty to watch.

Nice story on him here
