Description:
A rare original from Australia’s early surfwear scene. This vintage Tracker T-shirt comes from the pioneering surf brand founded by Richard and Jo-Anne Meldrum in the late 1960s—one of the first Australian labels to make shorts and tees specifically for surfers. The graphic, a powerful black-on-white wave with a lone rider, captures the raw energy of early surf trials and beach culture in Sydney.

Made of lightweight cotton with single-stitch construction and a perfectly faded graphic, this shirt has the easy drape and vintage character that only time and sea air can create. Whether you’re drawn to the archival style or the surf history behind it, this piece delivers both with quiet authenticity.

Tracker’s legacy in the surf world is lesser known than their skate fame, making this tee a standout for collectors. Whether this event was a coastal challenge, promotional tour, or regional comp, the shirt’s bold wave and lone surfer capture that moment when Aussie surf culture was stepping into the global spotlight. A striking piece for surf enthusiasts, vintage heads, or anyone chasing that sun-bleached aesthetic of the '80s.
