Impossibles 2008. Anyone who was in Jbay during July will attest to the excellence of Impossibles this year. All images Kelly Cestari

2005. For the life of me I cannot remember this guys name, all I know is he is from CT and had a good style on his backhand.

2006. Another unknown but I recall this grom being pretty impressive, now 3 years down the line he should be bigger and better

Clayton 2007. I remember this clearly because I was sick with what I assumed was Malaria after a trip to Mozam and Clay had the same bug but soldiered through for a surf.

Beyrick de Vries 2007. Beyricks progression through the years has impressed me

Ricky Basnett 2008. Ricky B smooth as butter.

Royden Bryson 2008. When need Royden back on tour

Luke Egan 2005. Egan doesn’t make the event decisions in Jbay but sometimes I’m sure he coerces Snips into calling it off for a little free session

Simon Barrat 2008. Shortly after this photo Barrat injured himself and was out the water. Again this year he did the same thing without even surfing.

Greg Emslie 2005. This was my first fisheye session at Supers and I don’t think I’ve ever done another.

Greg Emslie 2006. The early morning backlit Supers photos have been inspired by Greg Ewing, his photo of Parko is the yard stick by which to measure your efforts.

Alan Van Gysen 2007. Billabong/July/Jeffreys/Top Surfers all lure SA’s top photogs from their homelands

Greg Ewing 2007. I recall having a discussion with The Sheriff in 2005 (it could be in 2006) about the validity of digital photography.

Al Nicol 2007. Pikey as he is affectionately known has become one with South Africa

Taj Burrow 2007

Ace Buchan 2007

Ace Buchan 2008. This was the day before the events window period started, it was the best in the whole 2 weeks

Mick Fanning 2006.This single frame is what started me shooting all virtually impossible sequences up till the end. I stopped shooting 4 frames in and Mick ended standing up in the wash.

Jeremy Flores 2007

Jason Hearn 2007. Not just an excellent film maker

Damien Hobgood 2008. I have nearly mastered distinguishing Damien from CJ and vice versa

Jeffreys Sunset 2005. Afternoon light at Supers is just as good as Hawaii morning light.

Kai Otton 2008. Another from the “should have surfed the day before” session of 08.

Shaun Payne 2007. This was shot with a housing I made myself. Out the water it felt like, in the water I needed two hands to hold it up. Used once and never again

Travis Logie 2008. Try hold up with the lighting backhand of Travis. It is tricky.

Darryn Mountford 2005. My first ever photo published was in the “Shot Bru” back in 1997/8 of my good friend Darryn, it was with a disposable film camera

Supers 2008. Explanation not required.

Taylor Knox 2007. After the event Jeffreys fired for two weeks straight while I went inland to shoot motocross.

Josh Kerr 2007. It’s tight but I like it

Josh Kerr 2007. Josh wasn’t the aerial world champion for jumping off bridges

Kelly Slater 2005. Thank goodness you can fix your mistakes with digital, I used to be in the habit of setting the color temperature and completely blew it. Lucky I could save it.

Kelly Slater 2006. Another of the morning backlit efforts

Kelly Slater 2007. That’s a Spider Twin Fin.

Kelly Slater 2008. Another from the “should have surfed the day before” session of 08.

Jordy Smith 2006. Sometimes you just know when you have a good photo. I showed The Sheriff this immediately and it ran as a DPS.

Klee Strachan 2008

Mickey Venter 2007. When this kid grows it could be interesting.

Chris Ward 2008. There’s Wardo

Shaun Tomson 2005. I think this was the first time Shaun had been back to Supers in years

Shaun Tomson 2007.

Shaun Tomson 2008. Even Shaun was there on the “should have surfed yesterday” yesterday

Adriano de Souza 2006

Adriano de Souza 2007

Adriano de Souza 2008

Bede Durbidge 2007

Bede Durbidge 2008. Somebody sponsor Bede.

Luke Stedman 2007

Luke Stedman 2008

Kieren Perrow 2008. Sometimes the last frame pull through gives you a nice effect. Only sometimes

Joel Parkinson 2006. Wonder if The Sheriff would approve of my effort.

Taj beat Jordy on wave selection. Shew. Bittersweet to say the least for Jordy fans. Jordy surfed better, Taj got the better waves. I do feel that Jordy was underscored on both his rides and I feel that Taj was overscored on both of his rides. The fact remains Jordy is looking phenomenal at the moment. He is not forcing anything yet his surfing is both polished and radical at the same time. Taj wa... <more>
