Surfing Legends of The Gold Coast

Nine world class surfers from the home of the Quiksilver Pro


Peter Drouyn, now better known as Westerly Wendina, was one of the great surfers of the sixties in Australia. His powerful aggressive bottom turn and slick nose riding style earned him many admirers.

But more recently the Gold Coaster has become better known due to his gender. Five years ago he announced that he always felt he was a woman trapped in a man’s body, and began a transformation into Westerly.

He came under a fair bit of stick, but also a lot of admiration for his courageous stance and openness. Whatever he was a pioneer of early surfing in Australia and had one hell of a bottom turn.
