TEAHUPO’O -TAHITI 11TH OF JULY 2019<br />
A good South swell, and the islands of Tahiti<br />
get the best waves in the world. This image<br />
was shot by Bogus Sta from Tahiti. Teahupo'o<br />
has produced some breath-taking images<br />
over the years and Bogus has manged to<br />
capture some amazing moments.<br />
Bogus commented about this image<br />
“This wave was a bomb and it really surprised<br />
us all, luckily I had time to shoot Raimana<br />
making a perfect ride as the west bowl was<br />
getting super heavy. I had to hurry to escape<br />
from the impact zone (Bogus was swimming)<br />
few of us got shook but nobody got hurt!<br />
What a moment, this is what we are living for!<br />
Mauruuru (thank you) to the ocean, we live in<br />
heaven!”<br />
Raimana Van Bastolaer has made a career<br />
out of surfing the world’s thickest wave in<br />
Teahupo'o if its big he is normally the first out<br />
there.<br />
VOLGA RIVER, TOLYATTI, RUSSIA<br />
Photographer Alexey Shabanov talks about the shot:<br />
"Last summer turned out to be difficult for everyone. Fortunately, my<br />
wife and I spent this time out of town, in a place surrounded by a<br />
forest and the Volga River. It is such a beautiful place, so I couldn’t<br />
resist taking pictures. Flying over one of the islands, I noticed that<br />
the sand dunes beautifully go into the river, creating a fantastic<br />
relief similar to the slopes of mountains. As it was quite an isolated<br />
location it was difficult to find an athlete who was ready to put my<br />
ideas into practice. And that’s when Instagram really helped me!<br />
I posted a request and my old friend, Anton Popov, immediately<br />
reacted and said that he was ready to do anything to get into the<br />
photo (his exact words). A couple of days later we went to the<br />
location to implement this idea. The morning sun very beautifully<br />
emphasised the relief of the sandy beach and created a real feeling<br />
of an athlete going down the mountainside." Red Bull Illume.<br />
