When magazine used to be the real deal and only way to look at and dream about far away (and even local) surf spots, some of my favorite images I would tear out of my many magazines and the monthly posters that came with each issue and all the (to me best surf mag pages of each issue) that were plastered all over the walls of my bedroom growing up were a lot of the classic vertical top turns. Some of my favs at the time were Shane Beschen, Wes Laine, (of course Pancho, Archy, Sunny, Kelly, Occy & can’t forget Lisa Anderson) Chris Brown & Matt Hoy …. just to name and remember a few. The thing I loved most, firstly on these kinds of shots were the way the water looked from the thruster trailing fins and how it looked like a motor boat going up the face of the wave…. it looked specially cool with the zests lighting and the more tropical the water (ie super aqua color) and of course the second part was the body language of the pro surfers gecko like tweek of their body as everything was facing upwards from the hips down and the rest of the body turned completely the opposite direction looking back down at the bottom of the wave. Just perfect symmetry in motion (for me at least!)
