    Hello
    We are urgently seeking the photographs of Mark Matthews big wave riding.

    Are you able to provide contact details for the photographer (Callum Macauley)?

    Kind regards

    Just picked up yesterdays Herald Sun and caught your photo on Page 2 of the Sport. Had to see more on Chasing Chalk. Great shots, ballsy effort and keep it up. Non surfer, but love it.

    Hey Mark,

    I know you guys had a look at my local yesterday for a surf but bypassed.
    Anyway the black hole ( 8.30 – 9.30), 3 of us out and some long pits.
    By the way, good luck with the site.

    Proud of you bra putting this site together. Will keep an eye on it regularly and tell others about it also. See you when you are next in the office for a “tune-up”…or for some “panel-beating” depending on how those chalky bits of yours are holding out!!!
