Description

Tappa sits down with iconic surf cameraman and all-around legend John ‘Gordo’ Gordon. From his roots in a family steeped in journalism to capturing the chaos and beauty of the world’s best waves, Gordo has seen it all — often from behind the lens and sometimes from the frontlines of danger.

With trademark humour and heart, Gordo opens up about his wildest moments on the World Surfing Tour, brushes with fame, acts of bravery that earned him medals, and the unforgettable characters who shaped his life behind the scenes of surf culture. This isn’t just a story about surf photography — it’s a story about risk, legacy, and living a life fuelled by passion and purpose.

Whether you’re a surfer, storyteller or just here for the yarns — Gordo delivers.
