SO YOU THINK YOU ARE ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF SURF PHOTOGRAPHY DOING ANGLES THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN EXPLORED..... THINK AGAIN!

    ' BIG WAVE HUNTING ' IN THE YEAR 1903'.
   THIS IS GEORGE MORTIMER PUTTING ALL OF US MODERN DAY SURF PHOTOGRAPHERS  ( and underwater camera housing builders ) IN OUR PLACE BY HAVING THE GENIUS TO WATER PROOF HIS CAMERA IN A WOODEN BOX AND TYING HIMSELF OF TO THE ROCKS ON A HEADLAND SO HE COULD GET THE ULTIMATE ANGLE HE WANTED SHOOTING STORM WAVES.
  TO QUOTE HIM, " never turn your back on the sea for an instant " he say's " the last time I did that put me to bed for two days with bruises and a smashed camera ". I THINK A NEW PERSONAL HERO OF MINE. GO GEORGE!
