With blue waves tumbling over them, these surfers glide underneath a tunnel of water. The surfers are pictured in a barrel, where the wave is hollow when it is breaking. These stunning photographs were taken across the beaches of Western Australia, by photographer Michael Riley, 28, who has been drawn to the ocean ever since he was young boy. 'My childhood bedroom was wall to wall surfing barrel shots and even the ceiling was covered with all the different covers from magazines,' said Michael, originally from San Diego, California.
