Ray is nearly 72. Surfing every day, Ray epitomizes the old adage that age is just a number. That said, only recently has Ray begun to “do ages.” He attributes that to his coming of age.
Anrielle Hunt is a local photog who may be decades younger than Ray, but approaches life with every bit the same vigor and affinity for slowing down enough to capture it. Paired together, their stories represent what it means to enjoy life.

“Our latest short film, launched at the Byron Bay Surf Festival’s 2018 Sunset Cinema, features local surf photographer Anrielle Hunt, alongside Uncle Ray, who with a smile, has been surfing The Pass every day since 1964.
“Despite being from different generations, discover how these two salty souls share the same love for the ocean and on living a slower life… The way it should be.”
