The wave of the day does it for me big time. Nice work Steen Barnes , Shaun Anderson and Swellnet.
In one photo you've encompassed everything nice about surfing. If I was a wanker I'd say that it was perfect except for the fact he is in a wetsuit. Which it is , it's perfect .....except for the fact he's in a wetsuit.

that is one of the best shots i have seen in a long time...with the over saturation of images these days it takes a lot to make you stop and go...wow!

Epic isn’t it?

I’d love to see a sequence of it.

Today's reminds me of that classic photo of Margo at Nias by Jason Childs. My mate had that up on his wall all through high school and I couldn't stop looking at it.

Last December I stopped in at Bali for a day and scored Keramas with a bit of swell. Dylan W was out there and I saw him repeatedly try a regulation layback snap but deep in the pocket rather than the shoulder.

He made some, blew others but the number of attempts made it obvious he had his mind set on the turn.

So I was pretty thrilled when David sent a bunch of photos that included Dylan doing that exact turn, only on a bigger wave and with a better backdrop.

Like you, I think it's an amazing surf photo.

Epic to see the preface to it Stu.
