Some say three is the magic number. You got the past, the present and the future. The heart, brain and body. And now, with the help of legendary filmmaker Taylor Steele, Billabong brings you TRILOGY, the Andy, Parko, Taj motion picture surfing video dvd.

Andy Irons (Kauai, Haw), Taj Burrow (Yallingup, WA) and Joel Parkinson (Coolangatta, QLD) are three of a kind. All completely different in background, personality and style yet sharing one universal characteristic, the ability to blow minds in the water and redefine the parameters of modern day surfing.
