WETSUITS, JETSKIS AND FROSTBITE<br />

It takes a whole heap of dedication to get great surf shots. Forget the preparation, equipment,<br />

training, study - those perfect tropical down-the-line shots mean a whole lot of swimming and timing<br />

a brilliant beachie barrel snap means putting your body and gear on the line... But add in ice-cold<br />

water, gigantic waves and even snow on the beach and the game steps up a few extra notches.<br />

On our recent journey of discovery through NZ our last stop was the city of Dunedin, all the way<br />

down on the South Island. Between seeing amazing sites and getting great waves in the cold water,<br />

Graham Carse of Quarry Beach Surfboards introduced us to the unbelievable work of an extremely<br />

dedicated local photographer Mark Stevenson, better known as StevO. Armed with a camera and<br />

jetski, he’s spent years documenting the local surfing scene and beyond in all kinds of extremes.<br />

Prepare to be blown away...<br />
