Keith Lyman has one of the most aggressive edges in the business.

I was following along in a chase boat just behind Keith when I took this shot. My typical chase boat lens (Nikon’s 80-200) was out on repair so this morning I was stuck with the shorty, 24-50mm lens.

We had a bit of overcast weather that morning so I shot mostly with black and white film. This is one of the worst, not recommended, places to follow in the chase boat. We were literally in Keith’s wake as he cut out.

In this shot, I like the perspective of the trail left behind the board and the distance Keith still has to go before he hits the wake.

He likes to cut hard and utilize that long ass rope. There aren’t many riders in the biz that can ride like Keith. He has a individual, unique style that everybody is quickly beginning to become very familiar with.
