GUBBI GUBBI LAND

A few days after the Noosa Festival of Surfing, the energy still lingered. The waves, the people, the effortless flow of it all. Surfers were still around, the atmosphere was light, and the surfing—still incredible.

I clicked the shutter countless times. Hang 10s, smooth footwork, stylish rides. But for some reason, this was the shot that stayed with me.

Maybe because he wasn’t part of the contest. Maybe because I had seen him surfing long before it. Among all the pros, all the competitors, it was his story that resonated with me.

Something about the dreamer. The one surfing for nothing but the love of it.
