A song for Big Bay

[PHOTO ESSAY]

Dinner when it’s cooked / breakfast when it’s shucked / surfing, food beneath our boards / all of Big Blue’s rewards / spend all our time living / no need to be forgiven / we exist in nature’s rhythm. 

Awarua Bay, also known as Big Bay, spans eight kilometres along the southwest coast of Te Waipounamu / the South Island. In this series of images, Hank Bilous takes us there.

Who wore it best? Hank Bilious. Always. As part of the Freeride World Tour, Hank is known as one of the best, and most entertaining skiers in Aotearoa. It’s Hank’s style and originality that you’ll remember. He dresses like an up-and-coming rockstar, and no matter the Hawaiian shirt, onesy, or killer blond moustache, it somehow always works. This originality has carried over into Hank’s photography. Using a busted Wastebusters’ camera and a roll of film, he’s able to produce unique images, which occasionally have proprietary ‘duct tape effects’. And again, somehow it just works.
