One of the coolest moments I have ever witnessed… the local African kids were so amped on watching Shayne McIntyre surf that they were chasing him down the point each wave; I’m not sure who was more stoked, Shayne or the kids. Photo: Brody/SurfResource.org
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.
