In October 1980, struggling with small waves on the pro tour, Simon Anderson stuck three fins on a surfboard and changed surfing forever. Over the course of 1981, Simon won the three biggest events in surfing on his radical innovation and converted the surfing world to his cheekily named Thruster. Now, for the first time, on the 30th Anniversary of his historic breakthrough, Simon tells the whole remarkable story of how a kid from Collaroy graduated to Narrabeen and then took on the surfing world. Still in demand as a shaper to the world’s best surfers, Simon continues to influence the course of surfing history. |
