Anthony Walsh, a GoPro athlete hailing from Australia’s Gold Coast, is a recognized figure in the world of surfing. There is no place on Earth where the surfer can’t find a perfect wave to ride; therefore, he spends all of his time in the water with his surfboard and GoPro camera. Nonetheless, the Aussie surfer has stumbled onto a rare kind of wave at an unusually popular time and place.

Recently, Anthony Walsh found himself in Indonesia, just in time for a predawn surf session. In this session, the GoPro he usually has on him captured the hollow barrels, glassy conditions, and lovely images. The official GoPro YouTube account published this video, and it quickly gained a large online audience.
