Description If you want your surfing to be respected, you need to make people take notice. One of the best ways to get noticed, is to hit the lip of the wave as hard as you can and do it without wiping out.

surfer: Stephen Koehne
location: Off The Wall - North Shore, Oahu - Hawaii

Thank you for viewing.
Aloha, mana

mana: supernatural or divine power.

Now this is the kind of photo sponsors love to see, isn't it? Reef.

Man that's awesome. If it were possible he'd be putting a permanant scar on that wave.

Very exciting photo. You're amazing. Were you on a board when you took this?

manaphoto In reply to AndySerrano [2006-11-10 05:47:33 +0000 UTC]

thanx...the 600mm, combined with the close proximity of the wave to the shoreline, allows for these kind of dynamic shots.

THE HUMAN BODY ISN'T SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!!! IT IS AGAINST THE FORCE OF GRAVITY!!! HE SHOULD OF FELL!!! Sorry, this is just extremely hard to believe that you wouldn't wipe out from that I mean he looks perfectly horizontal compared to the sea surface.... How do you do that?
