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.

Great WOTD today. Beautiful lighting. Jon Roseman goes alright, has that place wired by the look of things.

I don’t think you are IB, looks like it’s had more work done to it than a Kardashian.
Epic wave though
Looks more like a painting than a photo

GuySmiley. Hi, hope you are well.
I’ve a fair idea where your ‘in the open air’ artwork was painted.
See if others share the same view. AW

Bit late in the day to comment but Chris Peels photo is a center spread if there was ever one. Just a great looking wave with late arvo lighting, and it's a left, perfect!

Great deep bottom turn by THX - you can see how he's setting himself up for the pit. Also puts to rest any question of his paddling ability. Way more than a one trick pony.....
