A rare north swell from a cyclone earlier in 2018, I’d just had shoulder surgery after a mountain bike stack. I couldn’t swim water and could barely lift my camera but I wasn’t going to miss it. This was a sneaky one down the line that I don’t think anyone shot. Love the emerald glow in this one. Photo: Scott Bauer // @scottbauerphoto

@jackrobinson_official taking on one of the heavier waves of the day at home. He pulled into a huge barrel on this one and snapped his board. I was so excited getting the opportunity to shoot such pretty sunset light this afternoon. Photo: Scott Bauer // @scottbauerphoto

Lockie Caldwell (@doowekans) in the West Oz desert. Camping in the desert isn’t everyone’s thing and you have to pay your dues. It’s windy, dry, dusty, there are heaps of flies, sea urchins, and when it finally rains it usually pours. But when you score it’s magic. Photo: Scott Bauer // @scottbauerphoto

Shaun Manners (@badmanners) is the humble, quiet achiever type, just doing his thing. This wave is definitely etched into my brain as the wave of the winter this season. Photo: Scott Bauer // @scottbauerphoto

My Favorite slab at home. I’ve been swimming here quite a bit lately with @kimfeast_. It’s rad psyching each other up to go shoot out here. I’ve already had a pretty brutal dragging across the reef which was fun. If the reef doesn’t kill you maybe a white pointer will chew your legs off? We figure if there’s two of us it will at least halve our chances of being eaten. Photo: Scott Bauer // @scottbauerphoto
