OWN A PIECE OF SURFING HISTORY
”When I captured this shot of James ‘Jimmy’ McKean dropping into a massive Shipsterns Bluff monster, I knew it was more than just a photograph; it was a testament to the raw power and courage that defines extreme surfing. This is a moment that showcases the absolute limit of human skill, where every second is a gamble and nature is both the challenge and the reward.

I’ve witnessed many days in the surf, but nothing compares to the raw intensity of this session. Shipsterns is notorious for its chaotic and unpredictable waves and on this particular day, the swell was more monstrous than ever. Jimmy, a local legend, faced down one of the Southern Ocean’s most brutal waves, navigating the treacherous steps that only a handful of surfers could even attempt. The image I captured that day won the prestigious Red Bull Illume 2023 Energy Award - encapsulating the raw energy and bravery of the sport.

This print goes beyond just capturing a wave. It’s a reflection of the courage and determination that define extreme surfing. It’s about embracing the unknown, pushing the limits and facing the chaos head-on. A single frame, frozen in time, that tells a story of human spirit and the raw power of the ocean.

If you’ve ever felt the pull of the ocean, the thrill of big-wave surfing, or the awe of watching someone conquer a wave like Shipsterns, then this image is for you. It’s not just a photograph - it's a moment in history, one that captures the essence of what it means to push boundaries and challenge the impossible.” Ted
