Australian surfer Owen Wright poses for a photograph on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia June 19, 2015. Four times over two days off the coast of Fiji earlier this month, Wright hauled his body onto a strip of polyurethane and plunged into the barrel of a three-metre wave. Four times the Australian had the strength and agility to race along the wall of water and exit just before the jaws of the wave snapped shut and smashed him into the coral reef below. The result was four perfect scores, a feat unprecedented on the elite World Surf League Tour which earned the 25-year-old the Fiji Pro title and thrust him into contention for a first world crown.
