Coldwater Classic Surfing Contest









This weekend I trekked out to the remote West Coast community of Marrawah to meet up with some of the best surfers in the world and get some shots them weaving their magic in the O'Neill Coldwater Classic. It lived up to all my expectations and more. These guys are true athletes. On the last day of the contest I lucked into the best seat in the house on a boat in the channel next to macking 6-8 foot barrels racing across Bluff reef - that's me in the middle on the boat. The surfers featured in order are... Damien Hobgood, Jordy Smith and Pat Gaudaskas - absolutely ripping...  Hopefully I'll get some of these published in ASL magazine.
