Tosh Tudor, Teahupoo, Tahiti. “It was the tail end of a big southwest swell,” says photographer Owen Beim. “The evening prior was giant—tow bombs. But the next morning, it was 6-to-8 foot, about as good as it gets. Tosh was alone in the lineup for over an hour. He must’ve caught seven or eight perfect waves in a row, getting blown out of barrels with not another surfer in sight.”
