Distinguished and Famous people from Lennox Head
🏅 George Greenough
Surfer, designer and filmmaker George Greenough became part of Lennox Head’s influential surfing community. In a firsthand interview, Chris Brock recalled meeting him there in the winter of 1968 while Greenough was filming for Fantastic Plastic. His experimental kneeboards, flexible equipment and work photographing waves helped change the way surfers thought about riding and seeing the ocean. He did not run a conventional mass-market board-making business; many of his craft were personal experiments or made for friends.
🏅 Stuart Kennedy
Stuart Kennedy has represented a later generation of Lennox Head surfing. An ABC interview in 2015 followed his equal-third finish at the Australian Open and described the difficult period after losing a sponsor, when building-site work helped change his perspective on a professional sporting career. He subsequently made a strong impression in elite World Surf League competition. The local connection comes from his established place in Lennox’s surfing community. His account also supplies something more useful than a string of placings: the uncertain income and persistence behind a career that can look effortless when reduced to a photograph of a wave.
