When The Ocean Awakens

When The Ocean Awakens is a gripping anthology of firsthand stories from a group of Tasmanian big-wave surfers and photographers on their relentless pursuit to seeking and riding some of the most remote and treacherous waves on the planet.

Author Marti Paradisis has captured the characters’ personality and experiences and brings them to life through compelling short stories that will have the reader living in the moment, along with heart stopping imagery from Tasmania’s world renowned surfing photographers.

This book encompasses the inspiring highs and terrifying lows of some of the local Tassie crew in pursuit of the wave of their lives and is a testament to the unyielding spirit of adventure and camaraderie that binds these surfers together. These crew have pushed Marti throughout his own surfing journey – for they are a part of and integral to it — and together they all share a common passion: a profound love and respect for the ocean and the stunning island they proudly call home.
