After I broke my board I was stuck finding a replacement. I immediately regretted not bringing a spare. I used that part of my language allowance for my big photo equipment. Being a “old” and maybe a bit rusty photohog I was eager to get a few good creative shots at this crazy world class barrel destination of Thulusdhoo Maldives. Here the results… Oh and if you happen to find yourself in one of these and would like the full one or the RAW just drop me a quick email on corben9@gmail.com  :P.

All images are shot at 50 mpx mostly on 70-200 on my trusty Canon EOS 5Ds. Postprocessed from RAW an resized to a palpable web resolution. Click on the gallery and enjoy them up close. I do not crop often and they are to be viewed as is to see the action in each image as it tells the story of a wave and its rider… imagine and feel the power of the ocean while watching them!
