Michael Peterson at his zenith and Mark Richards on the rise.
In a split run (two different covers) both MP and MR feature on the cover of Tracks 593. Check it out for an original take on two, divergent paths in pro surfing.

This just proves that good surfing is good surfing. These guys are shredding!
Hello from Cloud 9. Watching this i miss the old Gold Coast. I loved living there and growing up there was amazing. Bongs in the back of the shagon wagin and goin to the old thetre for more bongs. Thanks for showing this...i was there then....dont remember any of it but i know i would of loved it.
Thanks again for showing this....
Lol. Check out the skyline in the background. Lived in Palm Beach in '75. Make no mistake. They were the great days.👍
I love this era of surfing. So much flow⚡️
All the footage was shot by our eldest brother John. And I’m pretty sure he edited it as well. I lovely record of the first man on man event.
Excellent, thanks for posting this!😊
What format was it originally shot on, Super-8?
@@Eventual-Visitor yes mate, and they borrowed my projector that I never got back to watch it on 😁
The final was held in late afternoon 2-3' slop. Michael Paterson made ever wave look like 2 meters of gold.
I was shooting photos from the water. Front row seat for great surfing.
Fitting that MP won the first . Those early Stubbies comps were the tipping point. Still had that soul feel but the tide was turning. Behold the Circus !! Joints on the hill , nights at the Playroom , Margaret Depraved . Loved it.
So sick, I was one yrs old. Just insane guys killing it, hot chicks mental waves.
Looks fun!!!!
Chicks were super hot and super friendly in the 70’s-80’s. Today, we have “chicks??” With blue hair and baggy clothes everywhere.
MRs board looks cool. Interesting to see these guys doing so much more on the shorter boards (post long board era) and the progression would continue with the Thruster coming out just just a few years later.
Happy to re-live it as I was grom then but so sad it's now a distant memory.
Loved MP and was a original rebel , soul surfer, who took on the worlds best.... and had a long winning streak! Rest in paradise! Aloha from Hawaii!
Timeless surfing from an interesting fella🤙
What a awsome era.
There is a very good book out on this guy.. Good read. And he was probably tripping this session.
Michael was the best surfer of all times! I love Kelly, but Mike was very special and the original! This video was well recorded and well edited! Thank you so much for sharing such a golden material!
WOW so KOOL

I put him.
A reminder of just how drastically high performance surfing has changed since those days.
90% of guys that think they are ripping, are not ripping. Keep that in mind
the boards changed rather than the talent
great post!
They didn’t show me. Ah well. Such is life!
State of the ART ❤'77
Rabbit was getting vertical. 🎉
Good eye
Forgot how short the shorts were!
Watching these guys surfing manoeuvres shows how stiff and boxy the designs back then held the surfers back so much . I would like to see them ride the boards of today . They would be ripping
They were ripping then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You just had to be there to have perspective FFS :)
What about the Surfers skyline in the background 🤦😵💫 ..half a dozen high rises compared to todays shitshow !?!?!?
MP👍❤️
I was there.
Mike looking like he's in a different universe.
MP was way ahead of his time..
Rabbit and MP ripping
Ripping and tripping
👌😎
Cool
The perfect time to surf no mega crowds
i was 5 years old.
🏄
I was 21😥nearly 68 now😭
Who sings the soundtrack please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Life is a funny thing. All those beautiful young girls sunning themselves on the beach are someone's grandmother now.
Yep, the boards and surfing has progressed immensely since 1977 but I’m not so sure about the female form.
They are so dried up now their crabs must carry canteens.
Yep, beauty is fleeting.
Life moves so fast you don't even notice the years passing...
I believe you are mistaken: it's not life, it's time the factor you were thinking about!
Wasn't Simon Anderson who popularized the three-fin boards ?
He invented the the thruster.
Can i ask, has anyone before until now surfed upside down in the tube.... Yeah ME !!!!
Winkipop circa 1996.
As Mohamod Ali would say "I am the greatest"
I am beyond just doing the same as everyone else, only a little bit better.... I have walked on the moon baby !!!!
Someone can't spell Burleigh. Peterson was an epic surfer.
Who wrote the song please 🙏🙏🙏

Doubt it
Bugs came 3rd didn't he?
Bugs got a world title
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 :)
Well done 'chine'!
Rabbit 🐰 won
MP at Pipe was insane back in the day
Great to know that, although I am still a kook even today, my surfing has actually progressed well beyond the big names of my youth.
Where was Nat Young?
wouldn't make it out of an amateur 60 and over heat today. Pioneers, but those boards sucked.
what a moronic statement. I 46 years ago you dill.

Lets be honest ,
Crap surfing,crap styles,crap boards,end of story.
Its called go with the flow, instead of todays Wack, WACK, WACk
Mark, we are waiting for your upload to assess your style. We will then work out whether you are better than MP, or not.
Sad what happened to MP towards the end of his life.
Cool
