About Russell Ord and Shanan Worrall

Russell Ord and Shanan Worrall are battlers … and survivors – in both physical and emotional environments.

The boys from Margaret River in WA became great mates after Russell saved Shanan’s life during a wipeout on an offshore wave the size of a building.

Previously witnessing two Great White shark attacks in quick succession had robbed Shanan Worrall of his love of the ocean; the one place he’d found solace in his battles with mental ill-health. He had to overcome his fear and reclaim his happiness – to go on to become 2017 World Big Wave Surfing Champion.

Russell Ord had always been the silent “keep it to yourself” kind of guy … until now.

During his 19-year career as a fireman, he was called to the aftermath of many car accidents …. one too many …. that changed him forever.

The ocean was where Russell Ord went as well to regain his composure and ultimately go on to become 2016 International Sports Photographer of the Year and creator of the celebrated documentary; 'one shot'.

The pair’s story of emotional resilience, painstaking preparation and training, huge waves, great scenery, sharks the size of a car … and a simple message - stay calm …. be prepared ... will leave you breathless.
