Why is that guy going right at Cloudbreak? And how did that chick in a two-piece get out there, without fins, and manage to bust through a six foot set without even the slightest foam trail? GIVE THIS GIRL THE AWARD RIGHT NOW!!
This girl makes fisheye kooks look like chumps. Go check out her website and you’ll crap yourself. Multi-talented.
She’s da man!!!
Got a feeling this could be our winner…
Very powerful; almost a sense of birth. Sensations of beauty, freedom and joy! I also love the contrast with the surfer above. This is a rare glimpse at some of the glorious dynamics happening underneath the water, out of sight.
I love this photographer’s work! You could truly lose yourself in her world of water, color and beauty! Sometimes I forget to breathe!

Sara is hand’s down the most creative surf photographer I know. And I AM a surf photographer, so for me to put my ego aside and bow down you this young doe, means A LOT. She’s always down, and this girl is a fish. Until you’ve swam through some vicious surf with her, you can’t fully appreciate what she does to capture these images. Keep it up girl, ever inspiring!
Awesome!
Her work is amazing and we now have her prints available on our site. You can check out her gallery here, http://www.thecanvaswave.com/collections/sarah-lee
