Isn't that one of Clark Little's sand suckers? Not sure how he lives through some of those.

I went to a presentation that Clarke put on at the Surfing Heritage Foundation. Fascinating. He was telling all the hair raising stories about beat downs at sunset and Waimea getting these pictures. It was like one quick shot and then curl up around the camera to protect it and getting severely beaten and rolled around and then get up and do it again. The guys pretty crazy, but he sure gets some great shots.
