This isn't a shameless plug. This is an encounter with a British company doing something special with surfboards. While the industry is focused on the multi-buck movers and shakers parading their eco-wares, let's not forget our homegrown talent. Words: Howard Swanwick Photos: John Morgan and Jamie Bott

1500 images of the 2010 Big Wave Classic, with associated house music. Not one we’ve seen before, it’s good though…


1500 Images of the 2010 Big Wave Classic, part of the Big Wave World Tour shot by Larry Jansky. 2010 is the first year of paddle in only, and the competitors were greeted with 20 [plus] foot swells and some 50 [plus] foot faces.

The 8am start was delayed a few hours because the high tide shorebreak was so big it made it almost impossible to even get outside. By 10am everyone was in place and the conditions were next to perfect.
Most of the shots were taken from a bluff about 200 feet above the beach where the judges were sitting. Larry uses a Nikon 600mm lens and Nikon D90. Each picture is a 4MB file but compressed for this video. For the originals please contact Larry at [email protected]
