Mike Stewart, 2007 Rockstar Games Pipeline Pro, 1/13/07. Tighter version of the image on my Fred Simpson poster. Mike is an absolute maestro in the water at Pipe, understanding and riding the wave like no other. Thanks for all you have contributed to "boogieboarding" on this its 50th anniversary.

Edwin Aldana, GoPro Pipe Challenge, 2/28/13. From Venezuela, Edwin charged this beast with a rollo attempt. He was so close I couldn't capture the entire wave in frame. Lots of epic moments during the Pipeline comps through the years.

Here's the beach perspective with me shooting Edwin:
