This moment out at a secret reef in Southern 

Armed with my trusty water housing and my 50mm lens, I embarked  on what felt like a solo adventure out to an elusive slabbing wave.


It was no small feat – swimming a  quarter mile out to the reef, but I was determined to capture the raw power of the ocean in all its glory. 

The overcast sky lent an unexpected vibrancy to the water, casting a surreal hue over the scene. As I 

bobbed in the water, waiting for the perfect wave, I could feel the anticipation building with each passing moment.


And then, like a silent giant rising from the depths, it appeared – the heavy wave slabbed on the reef, unleashing its fury.
