My friend Chris Grant (of JettyGirl) is an amazing surf photographer, and I was lucky enough to get a shot from him. This is from July, right before I left for New York. This was the first time I was surfing with a photographer on the beach shooting ME specifically, and after a couple good waves I turned into a spaz because I was just trying so hard to surf well. Once I start pressing like that I don’t surf very good and I kept falling and just blowing it. However, he just sent me this photo on Facebook. I had no idea he had any good shots from that day. Needless to say I was pretty stoked! (click the picture to make it bigger)
