Anybody who’s spent a good amount of time in the ocean understands the beauty and magnificence of the wave. Big or small, looking down a barrel or a clean shoulder as the lip lifts and comes down overhead has a magical, cavernous feeling like no other. Even if you prefer just wading around and ducking under waves, you’ve likely peeked in and experienced it.
Bodysurf Zine (now in its 4th issue) is comprised of lots of these kinds of photos (in addition to many others), and even more than the visual stimulation they provide, these images bring to mind the childish enjoyment of just being out there, floating and goofing around, gliding on your belly, getting tumbled about in the soup. When I was a little kid and the waves got too big for us to handle, my friends and I would wait for the whitewash to come in, curl up in a ball and let it spin us round and round till we couldn’t tell which way was up. Whenever I dip in without a board now, I try to travel back to that time, just a little bit. See some great photos from Bodysurf Zine after the jump.
Thanks to Drift for pointing me to these.
