Australia’s most successful competitor during the 60’s, Midget Farrelly won the first ever ISA World Championships at Manly in 64 in front of an estimated sixty thousand people (sixty thou!). Despite that, and a string of other preeminent results, a long-running beef with the sexier, trendier Nat young saw Farrelly sidelined as the shortboard revolution took hold, and Midget took to manufacturing blanks. Certain Aussie old timers will anger quickly if you admit not being aware that Midget is one of the most significant Antipodian surfers that ever was.
