There were so many tourists and random photogs there, that there was no way I was going to hassle my way in for the perfect shot. I just stood back and some shots from a far. Check out the the photo below of Bruce Irons, Nathan Fletcher and Mike Ho all sporting Stretch quads. Then the blurry shot of Jamie O'Brein also with one. Jamie Sterling as well. There were so many guys with those boards, Stretch seems to be taking over when it comes to big wave guns. Channels: Surf | ||||||||||||
