A hairless Martin Potter.



This is my 6'0" single fly swallow tail twin fin with textured deck from Trigger Brothers on Victoria's west coast. The guy who sprayed it was obviously a Martin Potter fan as I found this pic in a Surfer magazine from 1982 of a hairless Martin Potter riding an almost identical board.
Sadly this joyful period of rainbow sprays and smooth shoulders came to an abrupt end when, in 1983, Martin started riding flouro geometric sprayed Town and Country's and sprouted a full back of 'buggers grip'.

    Triggers are on the east coast(point leo) and the guy that sprayed it was John Jolly.

    Guessing it could be a Ken Reimers shape.
