Long before aerial drone photography, to help cover the final day and the unprecedented crowd of surf fans at the inaugural Op Pro in Huntington Beach, SURFING Magazine photo editor Larry Moore secured me a spot on the Goodyear Blimp. I was the lone surf photographer on board, which probably explained why I was the only one who hooted when Australian Cheyne Horan pulled off a last-minute backside 360 to win the event.
