Back in August, Surfing magazine announced its Baby Cobras contest, which offered aspiring surf journalists–writers, photographers, and videographers–the opportunity to break into the business by submitting a video, piece of writing, or series of photographs that told a story about their home break. The magazine recently announced the photography finalists, who could win a trip to Hawaii for a week to document the North Shore season. To see a gallery of the finalists’ work, click here, or click on the following photo, which was taken by contest finalist Carlos Santana of California.
