About

Capturing a surfer carving through a wave, a kayaker navigating a rapid, or a windsurfer gliding across the water makes for some of the most amazing shots in the World Sports Photography Awards. Sport plus water is primal and compelling. And photos that capture the movement and fluidity of both are striking and intriguing.
