Doug Andrew and Nev Jamieson and Doug King were Alex Mal Club members during the 70's and 80's.
In 1963 at age twenty, Doug Andrew won the Bells Beach Surfing Title. That same year he won the NSW State Surfing Titles at Avalon Beach.
In his fifties Doug entered the Bankoh Kayak Challenge, known as The Molokai Paddle, with Nev Jamieson and Doug King as the support crew.
A great story of courage and determination.
