Tasmanian photographer @nickgreenphoto won the prestigious Follow the Light Award at last night’s ceremony. “Don’t ever trust a surf photographer for a surf report,” Green said when presenting the above image. Green waited hours at this spot to capture a wave that gave the illusion of being rideable. Time well-spent in our opinion.

Our new film, “Fast and Loose”, tells the story of the creation, death and resurrection of the modern performance twin through the lens of Australian icon @markrichardssurfboards, who surfed his self-shaped twinnies to four consecutive world titles in the early 1980s. We also tossed some of Richards’ shapes under the feet of contemporary powerhouses @zekelau, @mikeywright69, @kaelwalsh and @noahcollins. Hit our link in bio to watch in full. Produced in partnership with @quiksilver.

Photographer and @followthelightfoundation finalist @tooth_massage balances creating images with studying ecology at UC Santa Cruz. “It’s really amazing to me that a photo has the power to connect complete strangers, and make them feel something together,” says Sullivan. “I want to photograph moments in the ocean that feel borderline spiritual, like an early session with your buddies, as you watch the sun spill over the horizon.” For more from Sullivan’s portfolio, head to our site.

Tasmania’s @nickgreenphoto is one of @followthelightfoundation’s five finalists. Green’s photography is self described as “dark and moody”. Which makes sense, considering Tasmania’s rugged coastline and raw ocean is his main subject matter. “I’m always looking out for those really dark days–the days when most people want to be at home all bundled up,” says Green. “Those are the days I’m most excited to shoot.” For more of Green’s portfolio and how photography saved his life, head to our site.

Photo of the Day: Photographer @tallteef spent 10.5 hours straight in his wetsuit when Hurricane Dorian turned-on his New Jersey hometown; nine hours packing tubes for himself and 1.5 hours multitasking snack breaks with drone shoots. Here’s a quick flick he scored of @rastaarobb before heading back out for more.
