I have photographed this wave in the afternoon with a sand bank in the correct position to break, with clear sunny skies to illuminate the wave only twice in my life. For this wave to break as shown requires a wave to impact the rocks in the background, reverberate and then connect with another incoming wave creating a wedge.
To ride this intersection of two waves is the challenge, I have ridden and then transitioned to documenting.
Jay Davies is one of the few surfers that knows where to position himself to ride these merging waves. This shot in particular he fell blindly from the lip all twisted up but managed to hold his line and swoop into this crystal beach break cavern, a drop that was critically hard with the two pieces of energy becoming one.
