 Helping to 'Celebrate 50 years of the Rip Curl Pro and Bells Beach Easter Rally', Tracks magazine has brought to life some classic archived pages from past issues. Going all the way back to 1974 and back up to 2006 Tracks delivers moments of surfing excellence and much more... Each video presentation is accompanied by audio commentary from a Bells legend. In this the fourth episode Simon Anderson talks us through the historic 1981 event. An event blessed by one of the biggest and cleanest swells to ever hit the Surf Coast, and famous for being the very event that Simon successfully unleashed his thruster design on the world for the first time. Watch the video below and see the original coverage from the 1981 issue of Tracks here. Music: Rokeby Venus Track: 1147 Website: rokebyvenus.com
