Torquay Art Print III
Out alone at sunrise on a chilly winter morning, sitting on his board, waiting for the ocean to do something useful. Learning to surf is a battle of determination against constant failure, paddling hard just to fall off the wave straight away and do it all over again. This bloke wasn't staying up for more than half a second, but he was the only one out there, and the sky was doing that, so honestly he wins.
Torquay is where Australian surf culture started, and this is what it looks like before the crowds arrive. The beach breaks here draw everyone from groms to legends, but the quiet winter dawns belong to whoever shows up and has the patience to sit in them.
Printed on museum-grade paper and Australian made, each print is available framed or unframed in a range of sizes. Torquay wall art for any home.

Let customers speak for us
I absolutely love my latest print from Local Breaks. It captures beautifully one of my favourite beaches, Point Roadknight. The quality and vibrance of colour in the print elevate the space and being able to look at it in my home everyday brings so much happiness. Sam is great to deal with and makes the whole process easy, willing to answer any questions to ensure the piece will be a perfect fit.
We asked Sam for a commission piece of Anglesea to include our wedding venue (Anglesea SLSC) and couldn’t be happier with the results!
This print sits proudly in our lounge room and holds huge sentimental value for us.
We know Sam is a perfectionist and went out to Anglesea several times to capture these. Persisting until the weather finally cooperated to give us this perfect sky and lighting!
Couldn’t recommend getting a commission piece from local breaks highly enough, you’ll definitely be well cared for and over the moon with the result!
For reference we ordered an XL Floating frame canvas
We absolutely love our large floating frame canvas Point Roadknight Print II, it fits perfectly in our hallway and gives off the best chill coastal vibes!
We bought this photo from local breaks in May 25 and couldn’t be happier, the beautiful colours brighten up our house and we’re constantly getting compliments from guests
Thank you Sam!
What a great picture of a great place, sat at the pub and watched breaks - now have a picture to show me the other view - great job
I am obsessed with my print from Local Breaks. I love having it in my office because it brings me happiness throughout the day, looking at one of my favourite local beaches. The quality of the print was also great!
We are absolutely blown away by the quality and artistry of your work! This piece has become the centrepiece of our main living area, and we find ourselves drawn to it every day. There's something deeply captivating and personal about it (we are part of it 😀) — we’re truly connected to the work. Thank you for creating something so special!
Dealing with Sam from Local Breaks was an absolute pleasure. The print looks fabulous, the quality is excellent and everyone comments on how good it looks. The colours really lift the room.
The detail and quality of this print is incredible, just as the photography itself is! Top quality product and a perfect finish. Couldn't be happier
Working with Sam was an absolute breeze! I’ve been looking everywhere for the perfect photo / print of Eastern Beach. Unable to find any I liked or that captured our favourite parts of this special place, I worked with Sam to get the perfect angle, sunset vibes in a place that has so much meaning for us. We love making our morning coffee looking at this print and we always get compliments from people who see it. Sam is so damn talented and we love having his art in our home
The point addis print on canvas looks amazing in my lounge room. It has brightened up my space and captures everyone’s eye! The quality is amazing and Sam’s service was 10/10.
An awesome little local piece of art to hang on our wall and brighten up our living space.
Getting a view of Eastern Beach lifts my mood every time I sit down to work at my desk. Geelong is blessed with beautiful scenery and this print captures it perfectly. I couldn't be happier with my gift!
The Great Ocean Road print is hanging on my wall and the beautiful shot of the surf meeting the bush livens up the room. Being a Surf Coast resident, this really provides our space with a visual connection to our community. I love it!
Recently I was lucky enough to win an exceptional print of Point Addis Beach from the incredibly talented Sam at Local Breaks. The way in which Sam was able to perfectly capture the essence of Point Addis Beach, has quickly made it my favourite artwork at home.
The colours are vibrant and alive, showcasing the beauty of one of my favourite coastal beaches in Victoria.
I’ve received numerous compliments from friends and family about this piece, and I love how it has elevated the space in my home.
