I was rung up by an editor of a surf mag “I need a front cover for the next issue, I need something different” he said “oh and I need it in a day or two”. Luckily there was a good head high swell running and a bit onshore, good for airs. I rang up a few good aerialists and asked them to meet me at a certain spot at sunset. I had already pictured an air silhouetted by a golden sunset. But would I be able to get it. The word had got round and every pro in the vicinity was there and it turned out to be an air fest. Danny Wells the surfer in the photo came through for me that day, doing a huge front side aerial rail grab creating an extra large arching spray. Job done! It made the front cover.
number 7 does it for me, fuckin kicks ass! who gets that fuckin high and has time to turn and nose dive down? WAT THE FUCK? he's just jumped outta a plane or summat... fuckin mental shit, dats my fave by far! Get in there man.. fuck...
I've gotta say Dane's is awesome! man, he's pulling out stuff that shouldn't even exist, and the way he surfs contests ...by far the next level!! I've seen him getting tens, 10's! with only two maneuvers -air after air- who does that? experts are doubting his humanity -freak!- what else can I say, in personal opinion as a progressive surfer i look up to him. he Shreds!!!
Agreed! I swear ive given this article 6000 views, its frickin immense! Oh and by the way, did you know exaggeration went up a million percent last year?
Yeah dude. #5 is epic. #13 is pretty cool too. I like to see a glimpse of the shore in pics like this. It helps add contrast to the wicked air these dudes are getting.
