The greatest photo in surfing history? It could be. The greatest cutback photo of all time?
Definitely. As far as the greatest image of a maneuver of all time, the Tom Carroll shot at Pipe aka "The Snap", Laird Hamilton's Teahupo'o wave, Noll standing at Pipe, these are all impactful moments in surfing history. This image is core. Its core in that Curren is riding a Reverse-V ,7'3" or 7'8" Logo-less Maurice Cole, he had two. "Logo-less", which prevented a certain magazine from running it on the cover. Ocean Pacific was a SURFER Magazine sponsor and Curren's big dollar sponsor. This kept it off the cover. Curren would win Haleiwa on this logo-less Maurice Cole and that would be the end of that OP contract.
This image with live on in the purest of pure core images in surfing history.
One of Tom Servais best images!
