I'm a photoshop guy, and it doesn't look photochopped to me.

Notice the tow in handle on the upper left hand corner too?

SICK!

I have seen this wave in surf mags many times. I believe by the looks of it, it belongs to New Zealand. They call it "cyclops". I think if you miss it your dead!!!!

Great pic!!!

That is Kerby Brown in Oz at a fairly new "secret spot".

The picture reminds me of a spot in OZ called the box. I know this wasn't photoshop but it does look to be on the insane side of surfing.

That is an awesome picture, you can tell that it had a little photoshop work done to bring out contrast and give the photo more depth. Other than that I think its legit.
