One of my favorites. 20cms of jewel-encrusted barrel. This one was in the finals for the Nikon Surf Photography Awards. Photo: Deb Morris.

Hard to believe this wave is just 15cm in height. The wind was howling offshore producing the ripple effect captured in the inside of the wave. With the reflection of the sun and sand, the colors were magnified. Photo: Deb Morris.

Glassy, glassy, glassy. Love days like this! Photo: Deb Morris.

I laid low for this one in an endeavor to capture the sand being sucked up, the colors and the girth of the lip. Photo: Deb Morris.

Throughout shooting my collection of Waveart images, I have dreamt of capturing fish swimming past. The day finally arrived as these small bait fish cruised through the wall of this 25cm wave. Photo: Deb Morris.

Shapes, colors and texture make for a great combination. Looking through the wave allows the imagination to wonder what lies beyond. Photo: Deb Morris.

Solid winter swells, offshore conditions and morning sun equals solid perfection! Photo: Deb Morris.

The glassy conditions this day played a big part in being able to capture the reflection of the shoreline in the wave. Photo: Deb Morris.

Swell was almost non-existent on this day. After searching the beaches, I found a small peak forming just feet from the shore which is when this little gem rolled through. Photo: Deb Morris.

The moment when the wave reconnects with where it came from. Photo: Deb Morris.

Southerly swells with onshore conditions made finding a perfect wave difficult, but after a long search, this little gem rolled through. Photo: Deb Morris.

Each section of the wave has its own agenda, all moving in different directions yet all going to the same place. Photo: Deb Morris.

On many occasions, I find characters hidden within the waves. How cool is this dude? The joker jumping out of the wave. Photo: Deb Morris.

Individual strands of the water combined to make this wave. Photo: Deb Morris.

The perfect curl, the perfect colors. Just a shame it's 10cm in size. Photo: Deb Morris.

Flood waters and the morning sun beaming through this 15cm wall made for some dramatic results. Photo: Deb Morris.

This is a 10cm wave building up on the shoreline picking up sand as it charges through. Photo: Deb Morris.

For me, it's not all about the barrel. Sometimes just a small part of the wave is just as impressive. Photo: Deb Morris.

With the combination of flood waters and glassy conditions, this little 10cm beauty formed perfectly creating a pretty special moment. Photo: Deb Morris.
