DescriptionTerry Fitzgerald, Cheyne HoranFrom a continent famous for producing wave upon wave of unique, fiercely individual surfer, the stories of Australians Terry Fitzgerald and Cheyne Horan are suitably emblematic. Both welcomed conditions of all sorts, worked tirelessly on experimental board design, then stylishly exited the competitive phases of their careers. That they came to prominence in separate decades proves the point further. Sydney's Terry Fitzgerald--the Sultan of Speed--in the '70s earned a reputation based on purel ines and maximum velocity. His performances at Jeffrey's Bay and on the North Shore have since earned legendary status. Cheyne Horan, also from Sydney, exploded from the junior cpmpetitive scene in the early-'80s. He went on to establish himself as a contest machine, annually dominating the professional field with one notable exception: his nemesis, Mark Richards. During this period he became a vocal proponent of civil rights, alternative living, and tow-in surfing.
