Many thanks - Rhiannon (email

My husband surfs. A lot. I figured if we were to see each other regularly I should take up surfing, so three years ago I did just that. But when it’s too big for me (which is most of the time), I take photos.
These were shot on a cold May morning when a large swell hit Australia’s East Coast. We took a dawn trip to Sandon Point near Wollong ...
