Bombing down the line ... Kirra© 2009 - Joli/WPS

HAVE you ever heard tell of the one where two pro surfers and one of the world's top photogs borrow a helicopter and a jet ski before heading out to one of the longest right barrels in the world? Well, if you haven't, here it is: Bobby Martinez, Mick Fanning tearing up Kirra on a ski with Joli hanging from a helicopter capturing some truly unique angles. It might sound like the activities of surf hoodlums were it not for the photographic outcome. When Bobby arrived in the competitors area at Bells he was still adjusting to the fact he wasn't in Queensland any more: "Oh man, actually, ever since that last event finished, it's been warm water, endless swells, and these long green tubes... Me and Mick hit Kirra on the ski."

amazing shots, but i agree with Nurno. The necessity for skis etc is usually (unless monster waves -which the lads at the XXL awards proved you dont always need skis for) negligible. I think ethically/morally and practically they are a non-essential piece of kit on this type of wave and people should think very carefully before using them, particualry those wiht the influence, and skill to prove the point. That said, beautiful photos (apart from the one with the ski).

On the subject of what a beautiful planet we live on, I know they're necessary at times and have advanced surfing into previously unridable territory (which makes for great photos and increased safety, but how does it really beenfit the majority of us), but does anyone else find jet ski surfing unethical in both a green sense and a soul sense? Good shots none-the-less.

Nice work fellas, love the last shot with all the sand particles sucking up in the back of the wave. Shot 2 is utter filth as well. Keep em coming.
