Surfing into history at Pt Leo An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.
SURFING has a history and the Vintage Surf Day being held at Pt Leo is much than being “about a bunch of antiquated surfboards”, according to Paul Trigger. Trigger, of Trigger Bros. Surfboards, says the day provides a chance to “meet the people that created and rode” those surfboards. George Rice, one of the biggest surfboard manufacturers in the 1960s
will be attending along with an early team rider Gail Couper, winner of 10 Easter Bells women’s titles. “There will be mind blowing surfboard collections from as early as the 1950s through to signed surfboards ridden by the professionals. Plus, a chance to purchase a wall hanger with a story,” Trigger said. Torquay Surf Museum historian Bob Smith will also be there with his
collection and the Rip Curl Easter Bells trophy. Visitors can also have a look at restored Kombis and woodies. The Disabled Surfers Association’s Mornington Peninsula branch will be running a barbecue and sausage sizzle and selling merchandise. The Vintage Surf day at Pt Leo starts at 10am on Sunday 29 October near the Pt Leo Lifesaving Club. Keith Platt
