I have spent the last few weekends shooting surfers at a local beach.
As a body border asked if I could e-mail him a few shots, I caught these two frames. Unfortunately, I let off the shudder early and did not capture the landing. Yes, he landed on the board.
The body border also saw the acrobatic move and said "That's Fletcher, he's legend around here". I had no idea, so I reached out to a couple of friends and they confirmed the legendary surfer as Christian Fletcher of San Clemente.
After a little research I found these:
All Hail Christian Fletcher SURFER Magazine (the wave in my photo was tiny compared to those on the video).
