Frank Solomon at Punta de Lobos 2011

Here’s a stunning shot of young South African, Frank Solomon, on a huge, but perfect wave at the Quiksilver Ceremonial Punta de Lobos, Chile. Pristine contest conditions on this day in May made for the perfect kick off for the much anticipated 2011/2012 BWWT season! Frank is most recognizable as the guy with the distinctive yellow “squid lid”, but tour aficionados recognize Frank as one of the standout rookies on this years’ tour.
