Salt of the earth. Salt of the Sea.
Two worlds collide at Bells Beach every Easter. We all come to watch, dip a toe in the crisp waters and wave goodbye to the last rays of summer.
All roads lead to Torquay.
The world’s best surfers put on a show for the Ripcurl Pro.
One of the greatest surfers of all time, Aussie Mick Fanning pulls out all the stops.
Crowds shuffle back as the tide creeps in. Wet shoes and splashed shorts.
Dimpled bone-like rocks litter the shore. Calcified and worn from years at sea.
There’s something about watching people surf that brings out the best in our nature. You really feel for people, in the most child-like way. Hope. Excitement. Over-excitement. Swift disappointment. Joy. A full circle with each set. Rapidly cycling through.
Unpredictable colours and no two the same.
Running between worlds.
Bells Beach, Torquay, Victoria, Australia.
