Margaret River Surf, Australia, 1995

"A surfer rides a wave off the coast of Margaret River, where beaches sport nicknames such as 'Suicides,' 'Boneyards,' and 'Guillotine.' Since the 1960s the area's powerful beach and reef breaks have been drawing surfers from around the world and have been the site of Australian surfing championships."

—From the National Geographic book Australia: Journey Through a Timeless Land, 1999
