TEAHUPO’O -TAHITI 11TH OF JULY 2019
A good South swell, and the islands of Tahiti
get the best waves in the world. This image
was shot by Bogus Sta from Tahiti. Teahupo'o
has produced some breath-taking images
over the years and Bogus has manged to
capture some amazing moments.
Bogus commented about this image
“This wave was a bomb and it really surprised
us all, luckily I had time to shoot Raimana
making a perfect ride as the west bowl was
getting super heavy. I had to hurry to escape
from the impact zone (Bogus was swimming)
few of us got shook but nobody got hurt!
What a moment, this is what we are living for!
Mauruuru (thank you) to the ocean, we live in
heaven!”
Raimana Van Bastolaer has made a career
out of surfing the world’s thickest wave in
Teahupo'o if its big he is normally the first out
there.
VOLGA RIVER, TOLYATTI, RUSSIA
Photographer Alexey Shabanov talks about the shot:
"Last summer turned out to be difficult for everyone. Fortunately, my
wife and I spent this time out of town, in a place surrounded by a
forest and the Volga River. It is such a beautiful place, so I couldn’t
resist taking pictures. Flying over one of the islands, I noticed that
the sand dunes beautifully go into the river, creating a fantastic
relief similar to the slopes of mountains. As it was quite an isolated
location it was difficult to find an athlete who was ready to put my
ideas into practice. And that’s when Instagram really helped me!
I posted a request and my old friend, Anton Popov, immediately
reacted and said that he was ready to do anything to get into the
photo (his exact words). A couple of days later we went to the
location to implement this idea. The morning sun very beautifully
emphasised the relief of the sandy beach and created a real feeling
of an athlete going down the mountainside." Red Bull Illume.
