Evan Geiselman, working it out b-side, Costa Rica

Evan Geiselman’s down in Costa Rica. Kid went down there to work on his backside surfing. Imagine thinking turns like this need work. Also along for the ride is Mike Dunphy, Asher Nolan, Shea Lopez and a bunch of Ev’s pals from New Smyrna, FL. Oh, and of course, superstar photog James ‘Jimmicane’ Wilson.

“We haven’t scored great waves,” says Jimmy. “But it’s been super fun and rippable. It’s just been typical Costa Rica really, but Evan is putting on a clinic out here. He’s been gathering tons of clips that are gonna drop on his blog (coming soon). After a few days down here, I would already bet on this single blog segment blowing away almost everything on Innersection. It’s gonna be legit, he’s just surfing that good. Any doubts people have about his backside (if there were any to begin with) are going to be erased.”

Jimmy Wilson

Jimmy Wilson. Jimmicane. Jimbrodamus. Which blows your hair back? Take your pick and strap in, ’cause Jimmy rides bumpy. You want the truth? Jimmy will give you his truths in the blink of an eye and won’t apologise if it stings. Opinions are nothing on their own, so the 26-year-old certainly has the skills to back up. A good photo, for Jimmicane, is ineffable. “You know right when you lay your eyes on it,” he says. One such photo was the image of Kelly Slater’s full-rotation air-reverse during the Quiksilver Pro, New York against Taj Burrow. “It was rewarding to get such a special image with literally hundreds of other lenses shooting the same maneuver. Also the fact that I’m from the East Coast and that was an iconic event and iconic air by the greatest surfer of all time. I feel very fortunate.” And if you ask Jimmy where surf photography’s headed, it’s a simple answer: “iPhones”.
