Has Russell Ord captured the sickest wave ever Surfed?!!

We all know that Western Australia has some crazy heavy secret reefs and, as we've written about in these pages before, photographer Russell Ord has been out there documenting them in all their glory. But every so often a picture turns up that blows you away, think Greg Noll 3rd reef Pipeline, Jay Moriaty wipe out at Mavericks, Laird Hamilton at Teahupoo, well in my opinion this shot is up there with them....its just insane.

With over 10 years experience in surf photography, Russell Ord enjoys an international reputation built on an enthusiasm for surfing. His affable and modest demeanour masks a remarkable talent and an inherent ability to translate the natural environment into his still photography. Russell and his family have recently established a cool new gallery in WA.

The Sitting Room Gallery is a creative design space featuring incredible images of Australian Surf Photography. Ideally located in Cowaramup, just outside Margaret River in Western Oz, the inviting studio was created by Russell to showcase his surfinging photography and promote the work of other professional surf photographers.
