November 22, 2014 This high school student got a series of spectacular rides. In this series of shots he appeared to be going over backward after making a tight turn, but recovered to finish the ride in the the Interscholastic Surf Contest in Mission Beach, California.

Nikon D4 Nikkor 600mm ISO250 f/9 1/1600 White Balance Auto RAW Tripod with Wimberley Gimbal Processed minimally in Lightroom and PhotoshopCC2014.
