"Whilst travelling to Queensland, I stopped at the turquoise waters of Byron Bay. I was unassumingly filming a pod of dolphins joyfully swimming, when a large group of surfers appeared close by amongst the swell," says Burgess. "The unique swirling textures of the sand mixing with the waves created the perfect canvas as they patiently waited for the next wave. In the distance was a rocky shore which they were paddling to try and avoid, aligning them perfectly for a brief second with the swell. This moment highlighted the beautiful bond we have when surfing, harnessing the energy brewing beneath the surface."
