My old Surfing World cover shot lives on...
Peter 'PT Townend was the official guest at Surfing Australia's 'Australian Boardriders Battle' at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast on 7-8th March, 2026. He flew out from his home in Huntington Beach, California for a 5-day visit.
PT was the first ever World Professional Surfing Champion back in 1976, so this year, the WSL and everyone is celebrating PT's historic win of 50-years ago.
Invited up to the commentary booth for the action packed, surf-filled weekend which was live-streamed all over the world. PT was showing some memorabilia of his championship era.
The Surfing World magazine cover shot featured here (above) was my water shot of PT locked inside a Kirra Point barrel. It was the cover of Surfing World magazine for December 1973.
I'm just so stoked to see an old water shot of mine still living on and getting attention so many years later.
