Beau Foster, foam slice, France

Beau Foster, pictured here, has been hanging out in France while the Quiksilver Pro rolled out at Hossegor. After the event ended, the beachies have been lit up for a coupla days before the 34 heads for Portugal. Along with Ev Geiselman, Beau’s riding under the wing of Life Without Andy and Hurley team mate Yadin Nicol. The Central Coast kid’s been receiving the kinda light-hearted torture that any grom is sure to be subject to at some point in their career. Them’s just the breaks. But, it’s character-building, and is good motivation to clock more time in the water. And there ain’t nothing wrong with that. All the more opportunity to perfect face-burns like this one.

Ryan Miller

Ryan Miller, 33 years old, does not know how to write a bad email. Your pals at Stab have learnt to live vicariously through Miller’s red wine-fuelled letters from the road. His travels take him to some dreamy locales and, in those places, he scores all-time photos: “My favourite photo I’ve shot was of Benny Bourgeois in the Caribbean, with a fisheye. Often I just take photos, but rarely do I get to make one.” In an age of tail-highs and released fins, Ryan still most likes to shoot someone who can lay-down a big backside turn. Namely: Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds, Gabe Kling, Kekoa Bacalso, Damien Hobgood and Peter Mendia. Like most photogs, Miller misses Scott Aichner’s work. But, as far as contemporary inspiration? “Trying to see things through my daughter’s eyes. It’s wild to think about someone experiencing something totally new on almost a daily basis when, as adults, we rarely get to experience something truly new.”
