Jessica Hromas, Early morning surfers (DOCUMENTARY & STREET)

A huge swell was hitting Sydney's beaches and at Bronte beach experienced surfers where braving massive waves. Trying to get past the break surfers would duck dive with their boards. Not everyone would resurface on the other side, some would be swept back to the beach. Ones that did resurface on the other where showered in sea spray and basked in golden morning light.
