evoque

two images swiped from yesterday's surfline article on the first contest at burleigh heads back in the 70's.
cheyne horan on top with a pretty burly carve being on a single fin.  think this was before the whole star fin episode.  such a critical transition of momentum fitting perfectly into the arc of this pocket.  there are a few stellar moments like this made throughout time whose photographs will always remain burned into our retinas.  another i can think of is a similar moment and position by tom curren at backdoor in the mid 80's. 
the lower image during the same contest, eventually won by michael petersen, just brought back so many memories of backlit green-blue barrels i'd seen growing up.  in town, yokohama, secrets...
funny how thought evoking these two photos were to me.
