Wallpaper March 2010
For the wallpaper of the month of March, I’ve chosen a waveshot that was taken by Russell Ord on some heavy swell day on the coast of Western Australia. Yeah, I still remember this crazy session, like yesterday…
In the morning on waking up on the farm that I stay at here in W.A. I could already feel it, ‘Swell had hit’, I was absolutely positive. I jumped in my car, the sun had only just risen, beautiful light everywhere through the giant gum trees, and speeded to the Ocean… Yeah JOY, the surf’ was up, and even bigger than forecasted!
Initially I planned on organizing a jet-ski shoot for that very day, though, last minute, Russell and I re-decided and we went to a heavy beachbreak in the area….. Aaaaaarg, huge, heavy, dumping close out sets came through, pretty scary, and I had a couple of serious wipe-outs. The adrenaline during that session was insane, though, and the more time I spent there in this gnarly break, the more I started to enjoy the challenge 🙂
I’ve already used a shot of this very shoot for the month of January of my FREE Wallpaper Calendar 2010, check it out, here you can also find the full story on the shoot!
You will find the download for different screen resolutions right at the bottom of this blog.
Stay tuned for more & please feel free to email me with any questions, feedback or suggestions any time, I love to hear from u.
Hope, u enjoy my March-photo,
Ride safely & have fun!
