Under glorious blue skies bathers frolicked on the rocks, sailboats bobbed about in the bay and surfers took turns on the waves. What better way to spend a summers day then launching off a ten foot, triple-sucking death ledge? All photos Nicholas Green.//STUART NETTLE

In surfing, as in most physical endeavours, the boundaries of performance creep, rather than rush, forward. Just as Olympic world records are ticked off by mere hundredths of a second, so too are the criteria for surfing - higher, faster, deeper - broken in increments.

The exception to this rule occurred over the course of one hour in January 1990.
