Craig Anderson, backside indy throw, Indo

And now, we happily arrive back at Mr Craig Anderson, still aboard the DC x Stab x Transworld Indo boat trip. Just as stalefishes, slobs and liens made their way into the bag of any self-respecting aerialist a year or two ago, so too have grabs on backside spins (which have always been kinda uncommon). Grabbing with your trailing arm on your toeside rail is a frontside grab when done frontside, but done backside like this, it becomes an indy. Ain’t it fun! Obviously we don’t need to mention how fond of Craig’s style we are, but certainly worth mentioning (in case you missed it), is the fact that Dane Reynolds’ Marine Layer Productions is currently in production on a new movie starring Craig, which you can read more about here.

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.”
