This is a shot I have envisioned in my head for a while, and only possible to shoot today with the invention of the GoPro. Shot at a beach break near my home. The board broke on this wave, but the vision made it worthwhile. Shot with the GoPro Hero 3+ and a Gripstick Pro Mount. Photo: Mike Coots

This is one of my favorite waves to photograph. It's called “The Bubble” and produces some of the most picture-perfect waves. Photo: Tim Borrow

Kelly at Backdoor on an early morning surf before the Masters started for the day. The beach was already packed, and I am sure a lot of people were wondering what this guy is doing laying on his stomach in the sand with a long lens. It must have looked random, like I was just shooting sand. I like the warm and cool tones of this image. 1/800@f5.6 ISO200. Shot with a 500mm lens. Photo: Mike Coots

First day. The swell wasn't quite there yet, but we were the only boat out, plus one Jet ski. Sunny, glassy, amazing waves and a bunch of friends having a blast. What a memorable day. Photo: Claudia Boily

February was a pretty amazing month for photos. For whatever reason, we received more incredible images from more incredible photographers than perhaps any other month. Even culling it down to fifty of our favorites was a tough job… but someone’s got to do it. Now it’s your turn to look through them. We promise, you’ll love them as much as we do.
