A message from the author;

I’m so happy you’re here!

WAVE LIFE is a book that came to be from the photographs I take on my regular oceans swims. I’ve always been fascinated by ocean water, how it moves and feels - capturing that essence is the reason why I swim with my camera.

When I was asked to put together a coffee book of my photos, I realised that my images told the story of how surf waves are formed. WAVE LIFE was written to tell that story.

I have sought support and professional opinion from oceanographers, professional surf life savers, iron women, surfers and ocean swimmers to ensure the highest quality and integrity of content is provided alongside my images. The photos that you see in WAVE LIFE are not computer generated, they are real-life images from the ocean.

Being able to bring the surf waves to you, into your home, is something that resonates with me. If you are like me and always want to bring the essence of the ocean water home then WAVE LIFE is for you.

In addition, my hope is that by systematically unpacking why surf waves behave the way they do, people who read WAVE LIFE will feel more confident at the beach and will make choices that keep themselves and others safe. We have amazing surf beaches in Australia and they are a fun place to play when we know how to read the surf.

See you in the waves,

Rosie
