Everyone loves to see a good shot of their favorite rider boosting or getting deep in the barrel, its what amps us all to hit the water ourselves to do what we love the most. However these shots seem to go un-noticed from time to time. Now personally, I think its time to give credit where credit is due. As of now-on a regular enough basis, the BSC BLOG is going to showcase & profile the photgraphers themselves to see what makes them tick, and to find out why they prefer to shoot than to surf. First on our list if young GC Photgrapher Jye McDonald, whom had provided us with a bucketload of fresh images over the last few months:
