MEET THE ABSOLUTE TEAM

Udo Edlinger - Director

If you asked Udo Edlinger to sum himself up in just few words he'd say "I'm a water person." Raised on the shores of Sydney's beautiful Bondi beach with his father as his teacher and Sydney's beaches and harbour as his classroom. Udo has learnt pretty much all there is to know about fishing, diving, surfing, boating and just about any other adventure junky activity you can think of in or out of the water.

At 37 Udo may be all grown up but his fascination and enthusiasm for the outdoors has never dwindled. Udo started Absolute Boat Brokers in 1995 after working for MDBS for fifteen years his knowledge of selling new and used boats is unsurpassed. Udo has sailed over 15,000 miles through the Pacific Ocean, regularly organises and oversees boating shoots for both still and motion pictures and once even had a brush with Hollywood fame when he drove the getaway boat in the block buster movie Mission Impossible II, filmed on Sydney's Harbour. He also contributes to a whole host of fishing and boating magazines such as Fishing World and Trade a boat.

Henry Minter- Director

Henry was born, raised and educated in Sydney and spent most of his childhood around the Sydney Harbour foreshores. You could find him in a canoe fishing around Double Bay everyday after school or sailing with his grandfather on the well known classic, 'Narrawi'. During these early days of exploring the harbour Henry discovered that boating and water sports came naturally and quickly became an integrall part of his life till today. Henry is a keen skier, fisherman, sailor and shooting enthusiast and spends any chance he can get outdoors.
