Kelly Slater, Vogue! at Backdoor, Hawaii
There are nine photographers on the shoulder of this Backdoor wave. And Kelly Slater, who’d be blinded by the flashes of nine cameras if all these shooters were using flashes, is holding a GoPro himself. That makes 10 different angles of wave that, lets-be-honest, ain’t particularly remarkable in the grand scheme of waves that this man has ridden at Backdoor through his career. Expect to see this moment on the cover of local Hawaiian magazines, or on the major (or less major) surf websites of the world, very soon.
