First spotlight is on Laird Hamilton, surf legend. He’s invented or pioneered new techniques in surfing that has enabled him and other big wave surfers to reach new heights never imagined.

I have been searching for this picture.. whether it be the SURFER mag that it was in or just a poster. This picture is considered the greatest surf picture of all time. I saw this on film in the movie RIDING GIANTS. Let me know if anybody knows a website
