an inner-vision of being in the impact zone at Teahupoo in Tahiti. / Regarded as one of the heaviest and most beautiful waves in the world.

This original acrylic painting is a part of “The Dream Tour Series”. I want to show the beauty of high quality waves at their perfection. This series is made of the surfing locations around the globe-professional surfers tour each year in pursuit of the world championship. Teahupo’o is a notoriously perfect machine like wave with a razor sharp, living reef bottom. My intention was to show how much water is hurled out past its ocean swell and forms a glass ceiling that finally explodes violently around, and hopefully behind the surfer who dares. Please visit www.clarkssurfarthawaii.com for more imagery. Look out for more Dream Tour Series locations in RedBubble as they become available. I have six originals of eleven locations and three scans as of 2-10-08.
This original acrylic painting on canvas was created to depict a surfer intimately caressing the wave face as he is about to get tubed. By touching the face of the wave he feels his way through, controlling his speed and checking his position on the face. The anticipation part is untrue as he only has to wait a second to reap his reward. Somehow, in the tube time seems to be slower than “normal chronological order”. Thus the title to this work. For an experience of tube riding, check out Redbull surfing.com or My eyes won’t dry on Youtube.
