Guess that Wave

Saturday September 12, 2009

Perfect Right Wave

I got a ton of email on the last "Guess that Wave" but no one guessed Tres Palmas. After some well placed clues, one person did get as far as Puerto Rico, but guessed Marias instead. Those who have surfed that area know that Maria's can get sizeable but nothing like the wave in the picture. This week, I present you with a beautiful right hander with no rider to mess its primal perfection. Where is this wonderous bowling bomb? Instead of emailing like many did last time, click on the comments below and submit your answer. I'll give you a clue: it's warm all year long.

In other surf news, Surfer Mag has pretty cool list of the 50 Greatest Surfers of All Time. It's not just another list of names but rather a series of articles written by the sport's most colorful and talented characters. Check Shaun Tompson writing about Kelly Slater and then Kelly Slater writing about Tom Curren...I think you get the idea. What's interesting is that this is the first list I've seen where the Duke is not on top. Who do you think tops the list?

Curren is at #3 which I think is on-point, but Michael Ho should be higher (if you ever saw him rule Sunset in his prime, you know what I mean) and then there's Mike Stewart on the list which some may have issue with. Sorry, but Stewart has done things on a wave that stand-up surfers can only dream about. But Andy Irons over Laird Hamilton? Like it or not, Laird has ushered surfing to new levels with both guts and innovation. You can't avoid the obvious. Check out the list and let us know what you think.
