Scott Bauer, Marcus moments, Shanan Worrall. Commercial diver Shanan Worrall riding a wave photographed is a very special north swell in Western Australia. This wave Shanan rode was a stand out for me in this session, one of the larger more perfect waves that came through. I was recovering from a shoulder operation and couldn't swim with my camera, but very grateful to shoot this session from the beach with the sand between my toes.

Mathew Tildesley, Nocturnal Impact. ‘Nocturnal Impact’ is part of a project called ‘The Nocturnal Series’. Named not just for the hour they were taken but also the obsession which consumed me, keeping me awake at night. Surf Flash Photography is so intriguing; you never know how the results will turnout. The light might be absorbed by the water, or highlight intricate details never noticed during daylight hours. ‘Nocturnal Impact’ was such a thick, heavy wave. Less graceful than the ones before, yet much more powerful. The lip exploded on impact, its echoes reverberating through me in the dark.

Stu Gibson, Pumping Lightning. Shooting line ups with a wild dark storm as a back drop and managed to freeze this lightning strike at 2000th of a second on the trusty D4.

Scott Harrison, The Reward. A spot that a friend and I found that takes a bit of effort to get to. Needs the right swell and wind direction to come together for the backwash to really happen. We had been many times with ok results, but this morning everything lined up perfectly and I was rewarded with this split second moment in time under some amazing morning light

Mathew Tildesley, Nocturnal Curl. ‘Nocturnal Curl’ is part of a project called ‘The Nocturnal Series’. Named not just for the hour they were taken but also the obsession which consumed me, keeping me awake at night. Surf Flash Photography is so intriguing; you never know how the results will turnout. The light might be absorbed by the water, or highlight intricate details never noticed during daylight hours. ‘Nocturnal Curl’ was one of those rare instances where as soon as the shutter had clicked, I knew I had something special, although all I could see was the faint lump of a wave in the dark.

Andrew Kaineder, North Atlantic Power. A swell over 10m batters the coastline of Ireland.

John Respondek, Harry Bryant - South Coast -2017. Here's Harry, mid speed pump at a secret spot on the South Coast. I'd say less than 10% of his boards is actually in the water in this moment.
