Riding The Beast

shoutOut on 9/9/08 by Wiz in

Went to watch the Big Wave Africa surf contest in Hout Bay in July and the waves those guys ride are monstrous.

Inspired me to do this simple design with “Wiz” riding a beast of a wave.

Thanks for comments guys, like the monster mouth idea!

@SilverSabre – Funnily enough, those guys that rode in the Big Wave Africa surf event were quite gangly… lol… Surprised none of them snapped!!

u know what would be uber cool – if the wave was the open mouth of a monster, and it looks like its trying to eat the rider. just a suggestion.

I’m not sure if I like the contrast of the tee with the red surfer…

Also I don’t think the smooth style of the wave works with the gangly nature of the surfer..

This would be very cool if the surfer was smoothed out, and made to be more a part of the wave design…
