G'day and welcome to the photography of The Perfect Wave Gallery. My name is Paul Manning and this is my work. The Perfect Wave Gallery creates awesome images of the ocean, waves and surfing. The Perfect Wave Gallery is based at the surfing Mecca that is Rainbow Bay on the Gold Coast of Australia where I live with my wife an two boys - home of the world class surf breaks of Snapper Rocks, Duranbah and Kirra.

Here's a link to an interesting article on the sand at Snapper (found this link on Coastalwatch - thanks!) Sand at Snapper

My images capture the raw power and the pristine beauty of the ocean evoking the emotions of being there, of what it felt like, the exhilaration, the fear, the apprehension and peace of being in the water.

Dive into The Perfect Wave Gallery and you'll find:
  • Awesome seascapes, beach art, and wave images available as framed prints and canvases to decorate your home or office;
  • A surfing gallery with surfing from some of the world’s best surfers, local crew and visitors alike;
