AFTER I TOOK THIS SHOT OF KHOL CHRISTENSEN , WHILE I WAS STILL ON THE BOAT PREVIEWING THE IMAGES , I HAD THE FEELING THIS SHOT WOULD MAKE A SICK COVER.

I SUBMITTED THESE IMAGES TO A FEW DIFFERENT MAGAZINES BUT AMAZINGLY NO ONE PICKE THE PHOTO FOR A COVER.

FIVE MONTHS LATER SURFAR MAGAZINE WAS WORKING ON A ARTICLE " THE YEAR IN REVIEW " SO I SEND THEN A FEW IMAGES AND WHEN THE EDITOR , ZE ROBERTO ANIBAL SAW THAT PHOTO HE TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE " WE HAVE A SICK COVER MAN!" I STARTED LAUGHING BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME FEELING I HAD A FEW MONTH BEFORE RIGHT AFTER I TOOK THAT SHOT!
