Tracks Issue 598 - Behind the Cover
On the cover: Kauli Vaast at Teahupo'o by Ben Thouard
I wait patiently for moments like this all year. It hadn’t rained for days, so the river wasn’t running brown and the ocean was clear. There wasn’t one cloud in the sky and no wind, so the surface of the water was glassy and allowed me to see through the wave really well.
The swell was eight-foot at 18 seconds, which is pretty solid. Usually too big to shoot underwater but because the swell had a big period it was slow, which meant there was a lot of time in between sets for the white water to disappear and the particles to fall to the bottom. There are so many factors that must line up to be able to capture photos like that.
Kauli is one of the best surfers out there and we’ve been shooting together for years, so I’m stoked to have shot this one of him.

Dick Hoole is a dream weaver. In the late 70s and early 80s a generation of surfers were inspired to chase their surfing fantasies because of Dick’s handiwork behind the camera. ‘Hooligan’, as he’s affectionately known, arrived in Bali in 1973 alongside Wayne Lynch. They’d seen ‘Morning of the Earth’ and wanted a piece of those shimmering emerald-green left-handers. Using his little Nikonos cam...

The wind had been blowing stiff offshore overnight and a low pressure system had been making its way up the coast for the last day so we knew the swell would be settled in. This was the same low that lit up the whole east coast of...

    The comments saying how much they "would" be ripping on todays boards is moot. They ripped and blew our minds with what we knew as the limit then. You just had to be there :)

    Herro was unbelievably fast and powerful. I remember watching him free surfing in Durban in 1991 between heats at the Gunston 500. His surfing made everyone else look like they were on slow-mo while he was throwing buckets. Super raw and instinctive.

    Grew up in Ballina and Evans and the two sharks we only saw back when I was a grommet were bronzies and tigers. Now we have to worry about bulls and whites. The fact there are stuff all trawlers in the area now as they used to shoot any shark that came close to the boat years ago may have added to the increase in population due to the lack of culling and the increase in the food available.

    A device would be really easy to make, there is some frequency that will scare them away, no one is willing to do that research just to make a handful of surfers feel safe. The environmental freaks won't sign off to having a few of these caged for testing till we figure it out. Instead they use that smooth brain to beg for more government funding so they have jobs and waste years on some busllshit study.

    Loved watching this interview with Tony Edwards! It brings back so may memories of growing up on the Northern Beaches, catching the 190 bus from Dee Why then north to Narrabeen, Avalon, Palm Beach, a world away from where I worked in the city or Warringah Mall. Flatting at Dee Why beach & then Manly, listening to Doublejay on my little yellow radio, & catching the ferry. Westies coming to invade the beaches. Captain Goodvibes on the radio. Still have the large magazines of Captain Goodvibes. I often drew the teacups Tony drew practicing his dot technique then went to art school & uni & became a high school art teacher even though I hated school & preferred the surf, sun & music. Thanks Tony for the inspiration & memories & thanks Tracks for doing such an important interview of this fantastic artist. Glad to see Tony had a recent sellout exhibition.

    TBH I think the younger generations are a lot better at sharing. In the 80’s and 90’s aggression in the water seemed to be the norm. I don’t see it much now. Certainly not from the younger guys. Well done people, keep it up. And well done Jeff, wise words and a healthy attitude that I’m sure will be rewarding you and those around you ❤

    Own one and I'v started surfing it a bunch. Something about the sidecut makes it go fast down the line, like real fast. Perhaps the normal outline of a board actually creates drag/friction in these circumstances. It's loose and skatey too, a drawback, but of course, super fun if you know how to keep the fins engaged and where to use that slip and slide feel.

    Boards had great outlines, less con cave! and nobody knew how many frigging litres. Rails were usually thicker . If you knew how long you wanted a surf board and how wide, and how thick,- how wide you wanted the nose and tail., you were good to go. Progress is great, but a Phillips head is essential in your toolbox
