Evan Geiselman, Manly, Australia

Evan Geiselman is yet to lose a heat in the men’s event at the Australian Open of Surfing, currently on at Manly. So far he’s comfortably won four battles, with his semi against Billy Stairmand running in, as of writing, one heats’ time. Waves at the event have been underwhelming all week but Ev’s limber frame and Floridian small-wave sensibility have seen him into the contest’s business end. The frontside throw pictured above is one of many he’s used to scalp opponents so far, and probably not the last. Jump over here to watch the action, which finishes today.
