The Inertia

Who doesn’t love a good pulled-back shot? It is, after all, what made ace photographer Chris Burkard‘s work famous – that and its inherent “wow factor.” What makes this shot special is the fact that viewers get a greater perspective of this stretch of Australian coast as well as the perfect, empty split peak in the foreground. Still can’t get over the fact that nobody’s on that…

This image takes the cake for #InstaFlavorOfTheWeek for two reasons: first, the aforementioned style surf photography fans have come to love; and two, the fact that here in Southern California, a wave of this caliber, at this time of year, would have an untold number of people on it as well as an equally depressing number of people paddling for it/dropping in on the shoulder. Good to know things like this still exist. Thanks for the reminder, @surfvisionsphotos!
