Hayden Richards

We caught up with legendary surfer / photographer Hayden "Rich" Richards last week and he sent us through a few of his recent shots with classic comments. Last year Rich was profiled in the Stories of the South series - the short feature film and accompanying profile give perspective of what it takes to capture images this good.

Hey Oska, you're probably being circled by pointers, but sit tight, i'll just take a phot of ya

                                   I yelled fuck yeah from above after that wave

                                                  Hey Occy, up ahead, hot sugar

        It's early, it's cold and I'm laying on the sand witnessing something spectacular

It's a moving mountain approaching, I go up the mountain then down the other side, I compose and take a photo before the the next one cleans me up for good
