MAIN BREAK BOOK - Margaret River

A$90.00
sold out

Early in 2020, a few photographic jobs Russell Ord had scheduled were put on hold due to the COVID-19 lockdowns. Surfing for exercise was still allowed and with a bit of spare time on his hands, Russell naturally found himself down at the Point surfing and snapping photos of the locals both in and out of the water. Some cool images quickly emerged; not long after came the idea of this book. It isn’t a who’s who or a history and it isn’t even comprehensive. It is simply a snapshot of some of the local crew whose lives revolve around surfing at the Margaret River Mainbreak.

Since the late 1950s, the waves at Margaret River have drawn people from everywhere around the globe. The town has transformed from a sleepy outpost with dairy and timber enterprises to a thriving community based around wine, tourism and surfing. The wave has had a lot to do with this evolution…

A POWERFUL, CONSISTENT, PHYSICALLY DEMANDING AND MENTALLY ENERGIZING WAVE, A NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL PLAYGROUND SLOTTED SLAP BANG IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE MARGARET RIVER SOCIAL FABRIC…
