Gopal Butler: Maneuvering in Critical Territory
Good afternoon everybody. Yesterday, I received an email from BAYVI Teamrider Gopal Butler as he sent
this photo on over to us. I love this shot and I wanted to share it with you, our readers.
We have a ton of amazing photos of Gopal. Some of my favorites include photos by Nash Witten at Sunset
and candid shots of Gopal by Rob Hudson.
While this photo is set to a cloudy backdrop with less-than-ideal lighting situations for the day, the reason I
like this photo is the content itself. It speaks volumes about Gopal's character.
What you don't see in this photo is the shallow 6 inches of sharp reef he's hovering over. While most would
either kick out, run to the shoulder and do a roundhouse, or go for a traditional snap in a safer region three
feet to his right, Gopal feels compelled to attack the lip in its most critical section: a fins-out tail-release snap
in the curl of the wave, all while hovering over a shallow shelf of skin-cutting reef.
That's Gopal. And that's why I like this photo.

From Texas : Shawn Swanson
Here are a couple of pics from today! Waves weren't that good: waist to chest with a 30mph heavy east
wind but still scored a couple. We are expecting some killer waves tomorrow. Should be head high with
light off shore winds, we'll see.
Talk to you later...

Lanikai
Wow. HELLO, WORLD! It's been a while. I'm still playing catch up on these photos I took in Hawaii over a month ago. These are from Lanikai, one of my favorite beaches on Oahu. Looking at these photos right now makes me wish I were there. Los Angeles just experienced some pretty heavy rain and flooding, so fine-white sandy beaches, blue skies, puffy white hawaiian clouds, bikini weather and local food sound almost heavenly to me. Actually, they sound heavenly to me no matter what the circumstance : ). A girl can dream...
Hope everyone is enjoying their week. Anyone have any photo submissions or photos/videos they'd just like to share? We always love seeing the world through a different perspective and getting to know you readers a little better!

BAYVI 6A Photo Submission : M. Miyamoto : San Clemente, CA
Good morning to the faithful crew,
We'd like to start off today's Daily Read with a BAYVI 6A photo submission sent in by M. Miyamoto of San
Clemente, CA. This photo was taken a few weeks back on New Year's Day - first sunset of the year.
What an amazing shot. There's just something about surfing until the very last moments of sunlight.
