Now, that's gonna hurt

This splash is the surfer getting off the board (I think)

Shot during the 2008 "Mavericks" surf competition in Half Moon Bay, Jan 12, 2008. More surf & waves

PS : Wait till you see the next one in that series !!
And the black border DOES NOT mean post humus

Posted 24 months ago. ( permalink )

stargazer95050 says:

Actually, I think it is a smart move!!
Diving down to get away from the immediate impact zone so he won't get hit so hard. And as a professional surfer, he has been through this lots of times. I assume.

mcgowan22 says:

he is actually diving under the wave with the board, he got through it

Nathan French says:

Wow I thought this wave was smaller until I looked more closely. He might have made it, the board prob got smashed, if I had to guess.
