Soli Bailey || Short Film
10 years ago, an Australian surf magazine editor handed Morgan Maassen one of his first photography assignments and said "capture Soli Bailey".
They had only a few hours together, shooting portraits and action on a small day in Hawaii, but Morgan was immediately struck by the incredible demeanor of the teenager.
Polite, quiet, but so fiercely determined to make his mark, Soli was rising through the junior ranks and dreaming of make the World Tour.
As time went on, they crossed paths countless times in random, far-flung places... but this last year Morgan was bestowed both the pleasure of travel with him to Indonesia to score perfect waves, and to watch his inaugural year competing on the tour.
The highs of his performances in incredible surf, and lows of watching him struggle with the complexities - and literal luck - that comes with being a professional surfer, was nothing short of amazing, and as Morgan release this short film, he cannot express how proud he is of this human's fruition into a young adult who surfs with incredible talent and carries the flag for Indiginious Australians with dignity.
