Waves

A Childhood Surrounded by the Ocean

In the waves is a 14-year-old boy from Bali, Indonesia. One afternoon after school, he faces the incoming surf and is briefly surrounded by the ocean. For him, this is nothing more than an ordinary moment of childhood.

I am RAY MA, an underwater surf photographer from Guangdong, China, documenting freedom, self-discovery, and surf culture through the ocean since 2017.
