Round 1 Runner Up — Daniel Heather, MONA VALE, NEW SOUTH WALES
As a surfer who grew up on Sydney's northern beaches, I was glad when my kids were old enough to enjoy the beach and the surf too. This is my eldest daughter, Kobie, bodysurfing a shore breaker at Bilgola. In summer we always spend mornings at the beach, and this photo captures it all — sun, surf and good times! I used an underwater camera and sat in the shore waiting for the perfect break.
