Description

St Andrews Beach, Australia. Located 87km from Melbourne, St Andrews Beach is a tiny coastal village nestled among the sand dunes facing the wild waters of Bass Strait. It's a popular surf location with many good breaks that attracts surfers all year round. I'm a massive fan of the classic old surf flicks, so yeah, that was the kind of shot I was going for here. Dedicated to the memory of Michael Peterson. RIP MP

I'd say nice waves but I still remember tasting sand in Laguna Beach, California. So next time I'll be the one sitting underneath the palm trees drinking my coconut. ;)

Impressive!I,m really impressed as he is so determined to face the mass of water, in which there is not only the tremendous energy of the sea,but can also hide death.

The lure of the surf is irresistable! Driving on the highway is likely far more dangerous, it is just familiar. And so it is here as well. Nice shot Andrew, you captured the mood well!

What an iconic image. A long guy going out to do what he loves no matter what the risks. Not heard of Michael Peterson before but it seems he was a Master of his sport. Nice tribute Andrew.
