0 Comments

Cyclone Oma produced some of the best waves ever seen on the Gold Coast, with all the points and regular spots lighting up for days on end. The following collection of images of surfers surfing huge waves were taken at Snapper Rocks, Kirra Beach and Greenmount Beach over the weekend of the 23rd and 24th Feb 2019. If you happen to be in one of shots and would like a copy please email me at ozbeachesphotography@gmail.com

This surfer was having a ball that day, wave after wave like this
