The anguish of being a surf photographer!

For six days the Gold and Sunshine Coast's have been pumping and Swellnet photographer, Jack Dekort, hasn't surfed once. Oh, he's been in the water alright, scored a raft of killer photos, but is yet to catch a wave himself. Commitment? Devotion? Deranged..? Whatever, from our point of view his denial oughta be applauded.

These photos are from Thursday at you-know-where. We'll have more of Jack's hard-earned images - with some utter gold amongst them - on the site early next week.
