This was by far my favorite photo essay that we have ever worked on. I’ve grown up as surfer and have spent countless hours watching mini waves peel around points and break over shoals. We’ve all at some point, wanted to shrink ourselves down to squirrel size and surf those little grinders. Aaron Reed told me about this spot that he had seen break as he was cutting through a canal on the Clermont chain. It was a bit of a mission. We loaded the Sea Doo on a trailer and dropped it in the canal near this point. I remember Reed being a little let down, as it wasn’t as impressive as he remember it. I thought it was amazing. I knew if i got down low enough it would come across pretty dramatic. Looks like a murky Teahupoo. Reed must have driven around point 50 times. It was just so mesmerizing to watch.

this is prolly the most interesting shot I saw in the whole issue. I am just blown away by it. I mean it has great texture, color, composition. Everytime I look at it, I feel like I am actually there in the shot.
very cool.
