Kirra
Title: Kirra
Artist: Ben Budgen
Tropical Cyclone Linda was a short-lived storm in the Coral Sea, but it still managed to deliver an epic day of waves at Kirra during the 2018 Quiksilver Pro. This was one of the bigger waves of the morning and it went unridden as it coiled its way north.

PHOTOGRAPHERS BIO
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Ben enjoyed a brief stint as a competitive junior surfer before he answered the call of his creative instincts and took on a job with Tracks as the photo editor in the heady days of the early 2000s. After more than 15 years of rolling with the ebb and flow of Tracks, Ben, who holds degrees in both photography and design, now oversees the look and feel of the Tracks brand as Creative Director. Whether it’s a cover-shot photo, an elegant mag font or a website wireframe, the discerning eye of Ben Bugden is behind what you see. Ben is also an accomplished photographer with his own distinctive take on the surf photo genre. His shots have appeared on the cover of Tracks and his images regularly feature in the magazine. These days Ben still rips but prefers to do his surfing on a diverse array of craft. Between work, and surf sessions he finds solace in walking the dog.</span></p>
ADDITIONAL INFO
The Printing Process
Premium Quality Paper: Tracks print art is printed on the highest quality paper available. Your Print will be created using the finest archival materials and processes to ensure the best possible quality. Premium Smooth Cotton Rag - Natural White 315gsm: Fine art paper, crafted to adhere to ISO 9706 and proudly bearing FSC certification. This premium paper, featuring a subtle yet luxurious texture, elevates artwork to gallery-quality standards whilst supporting sustainable forestry practices.
Framing process; Produced on our cutting-edge giclee fine art printers housed in our Northern Sydney print lab, every print undergoes precise trimming and professional mounting on mould-resistant framing core-board. Encased in a solid timber frame and finished with premium Japanese framing tape, each piece is delivered ready to hang, ensuring enduring preservation.
✓ Sustainably Sourced Materials: Our frames are constructed using solid timber that is FSC certified, reflecting our dedication to sustainable sourcing practices.
✓ Superior Clarity Acrylic: The acrylic used in our frames surpasses traditional glass or 'perspex' in both clarity and durability, offering a crystal-clear view of the artwork without compromising on strength.
✓ Optimal Artwork Presentation: While all clear surfaces naturally reflect some light, we avoid using non-reflective films on our acrylic. Such treatments can diminish the colour and vibrancy of the art. Our approach ensures your artwork is presented in its truest form.
✓ Mould-Resistant Backing: The rear of each frame features a mould-resistant white board, eschewing the use of MDF to protect and preserve your art prints. Your fine art is mounted to this professional-grade framing board for enhanced longevity.
✓ Ready to Hang: Every framed art print arrives ready for display, complete with unique hanging fixtures for easy installation.
Each print is available as; unframed (print only) or framed print (raw, black or white wooden frame).
White Border Details: A white border refers to a deliberate, unprinted margin surrounding the artwork on your selected print. While this border will slightly reduce the visible area of your chosen design, the overall dimensions of the 315 gsm matte fine art paper will remain unchanged.
This feature is designed to enhance the presentation of your artwork by providing a built-in matting effect.
