Y’may know Mark Mathews as a tall Maroubran with a fetish for throwing himself into mountainous water masses, but you may well start to see his name popping up in another place – in the caption at the bottom of photos, credited as ‘photographer’.

Mark fired-off this shot of Dean Morrison during a session at ‘Ours’, Cape Solander, on Saturday morning. Lately, Mark’s rarely been hitting the water without a GoPro strapped to his wrist and it’s gotta be said – dude’s gettin’ good. For this shot however, Mark borrowed photog pal Billy Morris’ setup and went for a swim.

If y’missed it, we ran an in-barrel self portrait of Mark, grabbed from footage filmed on a 3D GoPro. Y’can check it out, here.
