At a time when tensions are high, this film investigates the attitudes and aspirations of a small pocket of people where surfing removes socio-political divisions and lets the ocean carry their aspirations for peace.

Hidden away in a Falmouth boatyard among the classic lines of traditional timber ships is an unusual surfboard factory: one in which the boards are finished with wood and natural oils.

fijiSome photographers see a lot of the effects created as faults (vignette framing, light leaks, grainy or deeply saturated pictures) but I feel it adds to the artistic approach of my photography. You can see more of my work at www.alisonmcmullon.f2s.com.

I took these shots on a trip to Indo (Uluwatu), with my Frogeye (Kodachrome slide film cross-processed), at mid to low tide – reef shoes required. The cave walls provide a stunning entrance to the break, framing surfers paddling out. The reef's varying depths at low tide allow you to paddle in parts then walk again until you reach the most incredible hollow barrelling left. From a distance it looks like the surfers are walking on water.
