As Perth’s primary surf break in summer, Trigg Point has been busy since the 70s when swell, wind, tide & sand bank conditions align.
Surfboats, wave skis, surfboards, kneeboards, coolites and surf contests have shared the waves.
Nothing much has changed! Over time some of the surf craft have become unfashionable, but TP waves still draw a crowd.
This is the final post in a four-part series of 70s Trigg Point images by surf photographer Ric Chan. It includes bonus images by Scarborough surfer/photographer Paul ‘Burnie’ Marchant.
