Tom Hoye Looking Back

On the 29 April I was interviewed on ABC Southwest radio by Dominique Bayens. We reminisced about the late Tom Hoye of Margaret River.

Click on this link to play the audio file ABC radio Interview. Run time 12.26 mins.

Foot Notes:

  1. Tom was attracted to the South West by Paul Witzig’s video footage of 1969 OZ Titles at Margaret River main break and not Yallingup, as I inadvertently stated in interview.
  2. Tom’s friend Rob Mansell was with him when he got washed off Sugarloaf Rock in 2005.
