I have always loved being in the water, whether it's riding a few waves of my own or swimming around with a camera. But this moment right here is a fly on the wall moment, a pure gold room of joy. It doesn't even really matter who it is, as it's all about the light and the wave, This guys is no stranger to getting tubes like this. Andrew Mooney locked. Photo: Nate Smith
Editor’s Note: We’ve chosen to focus our relaunch around the theme: EVOLVE. Transformation is core to who we are, and we put it out to The Inertia’s influencers and most talented contributors to share moments that caused significant personal growth and transformation – ideally with some relation to surfing, but also to life in general. These are Nate Smith’s moments.
I can recall when I was really young always being mesmerized by what my mates where doing on a wave as I’d paddle back out – sitting and watching them blow the tail or get barreled. I thought those would make amazing photos. So there was my solution for the next few months. Fifteen odd years later, and I’m still doing it. Funny, yet cool, how things work out.
