Lately, it seems, the Surfer’s Journal has gone downhill. There was a time when every issue had a handful of engaging stories and astonishing photographs. Lately, however, it’s been a lot of poorly written articles by the same authors and lackluster pictures, many of pros surfing waves in the South Pacific.

I was frustrated by this for a while, but then I had a thought: "Hey! I’m capable of writing a crappy story and sticking some photos on it. Maybe this is my chance!" So I’ve been going through my hard drive pulling all the surfing and surfing-related photos I can find.

As I make my way through the archives, I’m also finding a bunch of blog-worthy old pictures. This is one of them. I don’t know what it is.
