Kelly Slater's Phantom...

I want a Phantom high speed camera. Only downside is I don't have minimum $25,000 for a Miro. But when I win the £122,000,000 on EuroMillions tonight I will buy one. Maybe two. It's always good to have a spare. That still wouldn't get me in the channel shooting Kelly surfing out his skin like Chris Bryan here. But it would mean I could dick about shooting stuff at 1,380 frames per second. Ah well. It's good to dream. If I do win I'm buying every single one of you a pint, maybe two. That's a promise.

How To: Pose For A Photo...

StokerJayce_Sharpy_Snapseed

Everyone knows you can't just stand there in a picture these days. If you're a lady you have to turn slightly to the camera, put one leg forward, push your rack out and suck the guts in. If you are a man, and in particularly a surfer man, it's a lot easier. We aren't interested in looking svelte and curvaceous; we just want to look cool.

So here are your options:

  1. The Shaka: a cracking example from Mr Stokes here of the Hawaiian classic. Not to be confused with 'call me' or 'I fancy eating a banana'. Double shakas are available for use but can only be busted out if you say 'Double shaka brah' whilst throwing it. 
  2. The Point: Jayce is a master of the point. Historically from the catalogue era of posing the point, like the 'look into the distance' and 'point at a map' are catalogue classics. It doesn't matter what you're pointing at. Just point like you believe in it. 
So there you go. How to look cool in photos. You're welcome.
