This photo, captured at the river mouth in Del Mar, was featured as a cover shot for Surfing Magazine and became its best-selling cover in the magazine’s 50-year history!

It captures an iconic moment of an 8-foot barreling wave with surfer Dave Kennedy perfectly positioned inside, while a child claps in awe on the beach. The combination of the dramatic wave, golden light, and human elements in the foreground made it a standout image, celebrated for its narrative depth and visual impact.
