Boardriders Spektrum

‘One Shot’ is a short documentary that looks into the life of Russell Ord, a West Australian, world renowned surf Photographer as he embarks on a mission to capture ‘one shot’ that defines who he is, not just what he does. A husband and father of 3, Russell has for years shot professional surfers and ocean scapes, only to wake up one day and look back on his images with total emptiness and dissatisfaction.
This is an inspiring journey about one man taking a chance, following his dreams and living a life without restrictions. You only get one shot at life…you have to live it as best you can.

A recent West Oz swell produced some of the biggest waves I’ve had the privilege of shooting yet. Myself and Photogs Russell Ord and Spencer Hornby went down to capture the events that ensued.
Watch local lads Chris Ross, Ben Rufus and Chris Shanahan toy with a wave that would bring the ordinary man to tears.

Music by Perth artist Sam Perry

Tom Carroll, Dave Macaulay and Chris Gallagher set out to explore the Margaret River Region during the Drug Aware Pro 2012. We followed their experiences for four days and posted these daily edits during the event.
The series also features Occy, CJ Hobgood, Damien Hobgood, Brett Simpson and Brian Toth.

I recently went on a day trip with mutant slab chaser Kerby Brown and photog Russell Ord to an undisclosed location in WA, chasing a swell the boys had been following for a few days. Things got a bit messed up early in the program. Kerby got annihilated on his first ride, which was definitely the biggest wave that came through for the day. Didn’t stop the madman catching a couple more, before the adrenalin wore off, his neck could no longer rotate, and the blood he’d been spitting up for half an hour, dried to the insides of his mouth. Have a read of Kerby’s rundown of the events that unfolded, which he has claimed as the “Worst Wipeout Of My Life”
Check out some pics of Ordy’s.
