Take 2 - Big Wave La Malate 2008

The last two days I got eMails from Jules Gallais and Stéphane Pion with additional shots. Especially some nice lifestyleshots.

La Malate:

Nice close-up side-kick from a different angle above the wave

Same angle different move: going for the california-roll

Same move different angle and still catching airmiles...

After the first session we had lunch. Just perfect, sun and sitting right in front of the wave with the action going on without pause.

A lot of onlookers and paparazzi whatching the show

Food, so good after a hard paddle! ;-)

Waiting to get back in the rumble

Always amazing if you see the point of take of left in the top of the wave.

Seppi enyoing the bounce or being amused that he just missed the bounce of his life. But the good thing is at la Malate the next perfect bounce is just 10 seconds away... ;-)

Even on the other bank people where enjoying the spectacle

The not surfable whole on the other side of the river

Did I already say that I love spray and air ;-)

Oh, nearly forgot one of my favorites: the helix (oh boy, on Malate it´s soo fast)

And last but not least thanks to all paparazzi, as without you we couldn´t show anything to our grandchildren

PS: I was doing a boat-colour-check on that weekend (red, yellow and green) and I think red won or maybe yellow...
