Kevin Hall Bio:
 * Born 1951 in Sydney Australia.
 * Free surfer best known for association with Michael Peterson during the early seventies.
 * The "Cutback of the Century" featured in Tracks Magazine resulted form MP winning an argument with Kevin to surf Kirra instead of Snapper Rocks, which, at the time had better banks and more swell.
 * "Once Michael had spotted the photographer setting up, I had no chance!"

The rest is history, see movie Morning of the Earth by Albie Falzon for the three minute segment of MP at Kirra.

"The Cutback of the Century" If anyone wants to see this picture go to Tracks Forum and see my Profile, my Facebook page, my Google site, Surfer Magazine in my article and many links if you Google it. The editor of Tracks gave me permission to post my cover pic but some clown here deleted it! The Editor in chief was going to notify Wiki that the file I created (the picture) was fine but I found it was not worth the effort for a User page that no-one will look at anyway. Watch the movie, visit Tracks Magazine and follow me there. Well thanks very much ... my tribute to Michael has been ruined by Wiki Admin and now he has passed away! Picture omission by Skier Dude  WIKI.



In October 2011 Benny "The Jet" Urquidez visited Sydney NSW Australia for a special 3 hour training session for his friend James Sheedy who runs a Tae Kwon Do Academy in Cronulla. After the grueling and highly informative event Benny gave patrons an opportunity for photos. We later went as a group for a friendly chat over coffee before he left for another engagement at Fox Studios in QLD.

As the person in the photo, Michael Peterson, is wearing my spare board shorts I may well be entitled to raise the case that I did not give Falzon any written or otherwise permission to publish a photo of my red board shorts. There may be some difficulty as I did give Michael permission to wear the shorts as I was living with him at the time and why I was there surfing with him when the filming took place. This of course would be about as petty an idea as this "violation" in my Wiki User page and it IS related to my history.
 * The original picture is a frame cut from a 16mm movie segment by film maker Albe Falzon who later became editor of Tracks Magazine where first published in an article and entitled "Cutback of the Century".

Point of note: The picture, whether in colour, black and white, even colourised for posters is possibly the most known and used image of him and I highly doubt the literally 1000's of reproductions across the world have had permission from anyone to post in articles, forums, webpages or social media, even picture reproductions for autographs. Yet there they are. Now as someone who was there, knew Michael Peterson very well, have permission from, and friends with, his immediate family and holders of his estate, I find it odd that I have been ostracised for posting a picture that is part of my personal history while the tens of thousands of others who have absolutely no connection to the photo, the surfer or the photographer can copy, print or publish seemingly unhindered.

I have no idea who Skier Dude  is or why he is victimising one of the few people that actually does have a claim to the essence, context and fair use of the picture while others to this day are free to publish and continue publishing virtually anywhere world wide with no contextual claim what-so-ever. Beggars belief that a little research or common sense would have avoided this rather nonsensical omission.
