Cornwall's famous Porthleven reef. It rarely gets good, but it's always worth the wait. This is Ben Skinner at the end of a twelve shot sequence. He's a world class longboarder, but on this day swapped for something smaller to maximize the tunneling potential. Photo: Andy Ford
People love staring at waves, because waves are beautiful. When was the last time you saw someone staring at a soccer field when there was no one running around kicking a ball? Big waves have that terrifying beauty, while small waves are just pretty and serene. Put someone on a surfboard on top of those waves, and you have a recipe for splendor. Or in this case, a recipe for 82 of them.
