Photoshop. For sure.

 

How can u be so sure that its photo shopped, is it just coz you wouldnt have the balls to do it so therefore no one would?

It's not photoshopped.  When these were first doing the rounds, everyone was saying they were "shopped".  So I e-mailed Hans Rey and asked him.  He confirmed they were real deal and sent me another one which was excluded coz the photographer chopped his head off.  I'll see if I can find it.

Photoshop. For sure. In fact one of these pics were used in a Powerade advert recently.

 

Nope you're wrong. The photographer's name is Victor Lucas, he's a relatively well known photojournalist.

About the only thing photoshopped would've been the DTP work for the Powerade ad.

Makes me proud to be riding the Hans Rey signature frame!

Also shows why the call him Hans 'No Way' Ray. I follow him on Twitter, he rides all kinds of awesome places all over the world.

I'm hoping these aren't photoshopped as they're amazing and it would be disappointing if they weren't genuine. If they are real then WOW, keep up the good work!

If you can get hold of the video Live to ride you'll see Hans and Steve Peat riding some crazy stuff in Ireland - including the cliffs!!  The visited 60 pubs in 3 days and the soundtrack was Selfish Man by Floggy Molly (if you like this kind of stuff)

And I remember Hans saying they never got paid royalties for their use either!

 

 

 

Is that by Powerade

 

BTW a friend of mine worked on Sao Tome a few years back and brought back some shots of a never ending wave - hope you surf as well!
