It reveals surfers like Gilmore, Florence, Fanning and Slater in their element and the power of a moment caught in time.

‘It’s one thing to have an image transport you to a different place, but to actually make you feel like you’re on a surfboard riding in the barrel behind one of the world’s best surfers on a gnarly wave is another level of “best“!’ – Stephanie Gilmore

My View:

What an inspirational book! No, I am not about to grab a surf board and leap into the water ,cancel that image:)  but flicking through these awesome images made me want to pick up a paint brush and explore colour, light, texture! Stunning photography, a kaleidoscope of colours and then some!

This book would make a superb gift for the surfer, the nature lover or the appreciator of fine art.
