70s 80s +

Mirror surfing images by Ric Chan #6

NZ surf photographer Ric Chan made regular surf trips Down South in the 70s to snap surfing shots for general media and surf magazines.

This is a collection of Ric’s surfing images from South Point at Gracetown in the 70s. Ric’s original images are displayed with flipped mirror images (reflected duplication of the image). This creates an optical effect and shows the surfer surfing the same wave in both directions.
