Product Overview
Russell Ord wakes one morning in Margaret River, looks over the photos he's spent a large part of his life capturing, and is filled with an overpowering sense of dissatisfaction. The shots are good and have graced the covers of surfing magazines worldwide, but deep down Ord knows he didn't walk away from a secure career as a firefighter to just take 'good' shots. He wants to go to bed at night knowing he's taken that 'one' shot, the one he'll remember, not because of the surfer's name or reputation, but for the position he had to be in to capture it. Just down the coast is a thick, evil, brute of a wave he knows will deliver the opportunity to capture just that. But as a loving husband with three kids, it's not lost on him that the end goal, and the drive to have 'his moment', isn't going to come without sacrifice.
