A great video full of memories when I surfed and sailed that area.

Phil: come to Green Point, Brighton and ask for Peter. He's had BOTH hip joints replaced and he still sails and wing dings .


Thanks, Dutchy!

good historical reporting FD.........amazing stories........thanks for gleaning that out of those giants. that race with no harness at the end of the vid ......can you imagine sailing that far out of harness in that velocity wind......omg.........tough stuff.

Thats a fantastic bit of video historical Journalism Paul.Many thanks.

The Trigger Brothers are absolute Legends in the surfing industry. and they were heavily influential in the early Victorian windsurfing industry as told here.

I used to race with Matt in the Victorian Slalom Series in the early '90's and he was a very fast and skilled sailor.

I had some Surfboards and Sailboards glassed by Paul in the 90's as well. Great craftsmen and great blokes. Great to see that Paul and Matt still have the passion!

Brings back fond memories of my first custom short board circa 1988-1989, one of their polyester slalom boards which I seem to remember was an Arthur Brett design with very little rocker, similar to the Bay Blitzer design of theirs:

Super video, iconic brand, love that part of the world. Thanks so much!

Really cool. That story of the seal was something else, poor seal. People worry about foils cutting critters up but sounds like that seal had a bad day vs. fin.

Seems to be a lot of history with Trigger Bros... the good 'ol days!

Really enjoyed that one - keep them coming!
