Watching the webcast of the recent Rip Curl Narrabeen Classic brought to mind professional events I’d seen held at the very same spot back in the late 1970s. The top surfers of the day included guys like Mark Richards, Simon Anderson, Rabbit Bartholomew, Peter Townend, Terry Fitzgerald, Terry Richardson and Dane Kealoha, with hot groms Tommy Carroll and Cheyne Horan nipping at their heels.
These were the best surfers in the world, competing in front of throngs of enthusiastic Aussie surf fans for the sport’s biggest prize purses and all-important tour rankings. At first thought, not so dissimilar from what went down last week at Narrabeen…aside from one clear difference (and I’m not talking about personal lockers and non-elimination rounds.)

And, surprisingly, the Covid-19 travel restrictions have played a leading role in its ascendance. The closure of the border to stop the spread of the virus closed the curtains on the world stage for many aspiring Bay artists but the move also breathed new life into the art scene.
Performers moved back to the Bay of Plenty instead of heading overseas and are now directing shows, performing in nationwide tours and starting their own theatre companies.
