Every day I get sent a lot of surfing photos. Megabytes of the things and even after years of opening bulging emails the contents rarely fail to get me excited. However, one aspect of the gig I particularly enjoy is when surfers I'm more used to seeing in front of the camera turn the tables. That is, when they grab a camera, swim around the impact zone, get pounded, and focus their attention on someone else.

In this case its NSW Central Coast surfer Kerry Down behind the lens. A barrel hound in his own right, Kerry recently trained his sights on Ace Buchan at his home beach and was rewarded with these great shots of the current world number 11.
