Gold Coast photographer, Ryan Williams, has just returned from a three month stint in northern Sumatra. Leaving the northerlies and bluebottles behind he set up camp at Aura Surf Resort on Simeulue, taking photos and surfing. He's back on native shores now and also on somewhat of a roll - since landing he's won a surfboard in a photo competition and lucked into some classic beachbreak days near home.

All photos by Ryan. Surfers include Eddie Kelly, Louie Gervais, Matt Kennedy and Timmy Wright.

It's late August, approaching Spring, and the Gold Coast has had a great run of swell. Crew are taking advantage of it 'cause as any Goldy surfer knows the dreaded northerlies will start blowing soon and the next three months are gonna drag.

Making the most of the late surge was Matt Kennedy, the goofy, and Dane Hamilton, the natural footer, both of 'em getting slotted before the lens of Gold Coast photographer, Ryan Williams.
