Another beautiful moment near my home. Photo: Ed Sloane

Carissa Moore winning the final at Bells this year. It feels great to capture these moments in competition; this was a pretty slow heat with not a lot of waves ridden so to get her illuminated against the cliff like this was kind of special. Photo: Ed Sloane

Mini waves are arguably the greatest thing to photograph when it’s flat. Photo: Ed Sloane

My first published photo. How’s the serenity? Photo: Ed Sloane

My take on “that” air. It was pretty cool to be there for that. Photo: Ed Sloane

Another wave around home that looks pretty mellow, but it’s a treacherous place to surf. Photo: Ed Sloane

I guess I have a thing with stitching the best competitive airs I’ve shot. This was Slater at Bells in 2012. The sound when he landed it from the crowd on the beach was amazing. Photo: Ed Sloane

Everybody confuses this photo with clouds. It’s pretty cool how the sand is rolling like that though. Photo: Ed Sloane

A pretty tranquil moment in the flatness of summer. Photo: Ed Sloane

I don’t get a lot of clear water around home so when I travel, I really appreciate it. Photo: Ed Sloane

I love getting up and shooting before the sunrise. It’s the best time to be in the water watching the lightshow. Photo: Ed Sloane

A special photo to me, this sums up the wintertime where I live. Photo: Ed Sloane

Ryan Burch at G-Land. Not sure what to say. It was epic. Photo: Ed Sloane

Taylor Miller is an absolute natural underwater. Photo: Ed Sloane

This is Cahill Bell-Warren around home. We get some pretty wild weather and long stretches without waves where I live, but occasionally it all turns on. Photo: Ed Sloane

Maurice Cole. This was shot in his shaping bay with the natural bush light pouring in late in the afternoon. It hit him just right creating this silhouette. Photo: Ed Sloane

This is Dustin Humphrey in Bali. I was doing an editorial for Surfline and thought this would be a cool shot, but sitting on the back of a bike with a camera was way harder than anticipated and I felt lucky not to fall off getting this shot. Photo: Ed Sloane

Local tadpole Billy Harrison. It’s great watching the grommets getting better and better every day. This is the first good tube we’ve teamed up in the water and I get the feeling there’s much more to come with him. Photo: Ed Sloane

Derek Hynd has a very alternative approach to riding waves, but I think he shares a focus with many other elite surfers. Photo: Ed Sloane

Don Alcroft, a Torquay legend, photographed at his home. I could have spent a few days listening to his stories from back in the day. Photo: Ed Sloane
