14 Surreal Photos of Surfers Above and Below the Water

The colors will blow your mind.

Sarah Lee

Hawaiian photographer Sarah Lee always loved the ocean. It was that love that inspired her to photograph the insanely gorgeous and colorful series of surfers in Hawaii and Fiji that you see below.

"I'm attracted to underwater photography in the ocean because of the lack of control I have in such a massive body of water and its constant state of change in the lighting, water clarity, currents, etc.," she wrote to Weather.com. "It's somewhere where you have to be completely switched on and able to adapt to anything it throws at you."

Lee herself was a competitive swimmer and surfer as a teen, which also encouraged her to take these photos: "I couldn't help but want to capture what I was seeing underwater as humans interacted with the sea."

The photos will make you want to stop everything and live your gnarliest life.
