The Box -Â A small patch of reef situated on the headland at the mouth of the Margaret River is one of the biggest drawcards to the southwest WA region for surfers. One of my favourite waves to shoot as either from the channel or in the impact zone it is a wave built for high octane visual action, for this reason it is also the most photographed wave in Western Australia.
A favourite with local Bodyboarders and the toughest of surfers the wave comes out of shallow water before it hits a shallow rockshelf and throws out. While the ride is only 50 metres at most its still one of the most intense and challenging waves Western Australia has to offer.
The gallery below represent my favourite images from 2007 to the end of 2008. Riders include Dean Harrington, Mitch Rawlins, Pierre Louis-Costes, Bryson Stibbards, Brett Ayres, Amaury Leverhne, Michael Honeybone, Tom O’Brien, Adam Boom, Brendon Backshall and Dan Ryan

Ok so if youve been checking this site you’ve most probably noticed the lack of recent updates in the past 2 months. Summertime in WA is generally a poor time for waves but this summer we have been particuarly lucky with some nice west swells and favourable winds.
 So the fact is i have been shooting quite regularly actually but basically ive chosen to keep stuff off the internet for the moment due to the fact that most of the sessions ive shot lately ive got something thats a chance for a run in a magazine or potential sale to a sponsor.So rather than spoil to the chance of getting photos run by posting other mediocre photos from the session i’ve decided to wait till i get a definate no/yes answer on the images. Which when happens i can show you guys the premium stuff you’ve been waiting for.
In the mean time check out these photos from the Sunday morning down at Wedge. While the waves were average to say the least theres a couple photos of Australias best young bodyboarding groms 13 year old Thorpe Waluew and 16 year old Alex Halsey.
Enjoy and cruise back next week for a best of 08 post that will not dissapoint
