St Clair Surfer B&W

 This surfer captured my attention. Looking out into the ocean ahead of him, I wonder what was going through this mind at this time.

 

Edit: 

I would like to share with you a bit more about this print ‘St Clair Surfer,’ please read on.. 🙏🏼


Today ( a couple years later) I received an email from the surfer himself! Of course I never swam after him to get his name or anything, there were hundreds of surfers out that day. So the surfer remained a mystery.

This is what his email said:

“Ata mārie ki a koe!

Kia ora, so I am the surfer in the picture! Hahha I love it. You ask what I was thinking, I would have been saying a karakia to my tīpuna (ancestors) I always do before I paddle out. Also if you wanted to know, our name for St Clair beach is – Whakahekerau. She was a Waitaha woman, who married a local Kāti Māmoe Chief Tūwiriroa. “

This has blown my mind and makes this print even more special! He said it was his friend that saw the print and recognised him in the photo!
