"Each year I am searching for the greatest moments the ocean can offer. When it comes to surfers verses nature and the pure exhilaration of what the ocean can deliver, the Southern Hemisphere has the greatest playground of options on the planet. It's seasonal but there's always so many amazing options to surf and shoot."…Director of the Australian Surf Movie Festival, Tim Bonython.
