Chapter 786: Fame
Beach huts.
The postman, carrying a new issue of the magazine, rang the doorbell, and raised his head as he waited, his eyes squinted by the sun.
The waves on the shore are continuous, and young people holding surfboards come out of the coconut groves, stepping on the soft and delicate white sand, laughing and laughing, and the shadows of the trees are intertwined, reflecting on the delicate white skin of women, together with the chirping of seagulls to form a beautiful scene of the sun.
This is Hawaii, and there are only two seasons of the year, summer and winter.
It's the beginning of May, and the lively summer has begun, and tourists from all over the world are flocking here to enjoy the beautiful scenery that is unique to Hawaii.
It's wonderful.
The postman sighed twice, and then the hut opened the small door, and after a few words of conversation, he took the subscription to the magazine, and no longer closed the door.
It's early in the morning, when the doors open for business.
The magazines were brought to the counter, the cross rope bundles were cut with scissors, and several magazines were unfolded with a swipe of the hand.
Without looking closely, the magazines were placed directly on the display shelves for people to browse, but when the last book was placed, the cover suddenly became very eye-catching, and it was not placed on the newspaper shelf for a long time when I held it in my hand.
"Aren't the covers of SURFER all photographs? When did it become a composite image? ”
Someone next to him spoke, and when he looked up, it was a few tourists, the same ones that the postman had just seen coming out of the coconut grove.
ONE OF THEM, APPARENTLY A LOYAL READER OF SERFER, OR RATHER, NO ONE WHO IS NOT A FAN OF SURFING MAGAZINES AS LONG AS HE LOVES SURFING, TOOK THE MAGAZINE FROM THE OWNER AND LOOKED AT THE COVER WITH A PUZZLED FACE.
On the cover, the gray ash column occupies half of the sky, and the other half is indeed occupied by the raging undulating blue waves, above the waves, a black shadow jumps out, and the white air waves float behind it, like a god.
What is this, a volcanic eruption?
And is this a wave? It's a tsunami, right?
Asian? Asians know how to surf too?
Surf magazine covers have always pursued art and tension, but they don't have to take synthetic photos out of the lake to make people, right?
There are several questions in my heart, and as a loyal reader, it is inevitable that there will be a little disdain in my heart, and more even a kind of sadness, a sadness that the beauty in my heart has been destroyed.
A female companion covered her mouth and exclaimed, "You don't know? ”
"Know what?"
A few people on the side looked curiously, and some people followed the female companion to recognize the characters on the cover.
"Wait, have you not been on the Internet for two days yesterday and the day before yesterday?"
"The day before yesterday and yesterday, sorry, I drank too much the day before yesterday and woke up the next night, and you know, I don't really like those electronics."
"You're such a freak."
"Say whatever you want." The man shrugged and tapped the magazine on his hand, "So, you don't mean to say this thing is real, do you?" ”
"Uh-huh."
Lyte was dumbfounded.
The same scene can be seen in many surfing meccas.
People look at the magazine over and over again, and they can't put it down.
"Bi Fang, a name that was quite unfamiliar to you, or even to me, until today, because he had never shown the slightest bit of a presence in the field of surfing.
But in another area, above the wilderness and nature, a large number of fans like him and praise him.
It wasn't until the moment I saw the truth that I suddenly realized that there was such a god in surfing, and yes, I was allowed to call him a god, because I couldn't think of a better word.
Volcano, an undersea volcano that erupts, especially gushing out, the extremely turbulent, surging waves, anyone who sees such a scene, in addition to shock, I am afraid that there is only fear, that is the unrivaled power of man, just a small wave, can tear everything apart, leaving no remnant.
In 1992, big wave surfers like Laird and Darrick invented the Tow-in gameplay.
That is, being dragged into the big waves under the speed of a motorboat, thus gaining the speed needed for successful surfing, making the once impossible big waves possible. This type of surfing has also revolutionized the size of surfboards, making them smaller and lighter, with surfers swapping out bulky 12-foot boards for lightweight 7-foot boards for increased speed and easier handling.
By the end of the 1990s, surfers were already able to ride waves of more than 20 meters.
On January 10, 2004, Pete Ha successfully navigated a 21.3-meter-high wave at Jaws, a surfing destination on the north shore of Mau Yin Island, Hawaii.
In 2008, a storm passed through the area, creating huge waves, and Mike Parsons broke the previous record by surfing the K Serange 160 kilometers off the coastline of Southern California at a height of 23.4 meters.
On November 1, 2011, Garrett Mamara successfully challenged the surf height of 23.77 meters.
The 38-year-old Koxa is currently the world record holder for the highest surf at 24.38 meters, which is equivalent to an eight-story building.
The waves that human beings can challenge are getting higher and higher,
But everything has changed today.
Volcanic surfing, a new road that was never conceived, a new vocabulary.
35 meters, sorry, because there is no displacement sensor, this data is an approximate estimate, but there is no doubt that the true height is definitely above 35 meters, only high and not low.
On top of the erupting submarine volcano, the waves are 35 meters high!
Fluid, powerful style: speed, muscle, and elegance come together perfectly.
Obviously, this is a super diagonal young man, Bi Fang has near-perfect muscles, and near-perfect control, as well as amazing experience and technique, every time I see his sexy bullet muscles, I can think of the shark's rhythmic gills.
The style of the explosion of tension and the smooth lines easily defined the new era.
This time the surf contains a miraculous brilliance that only those who grew up in the ocean can capture.
There is no doubt that not only this magazine, but in a matter of days, Bi Fang will be reported by almost every mainstream media in the world. ”
"SURFER" is just a microcosm, and as the editor-in-chief mentioned at the end, in a few days, Bi Fang will definitely be covered by every major media in the world.
A bombardment of more widespread news than the wild goose bird tour that has been circulating in Europe.
Everyone is circulating, the video is reposted over and over again, the news is posted again and again, and the article is written one after another.
Social apps, media platforms, portals, until the eyes of the people who look at them are calloused, the heat finally subsides a little.
If Bi Fang was "famous" around the world before, then at this moment, he is famous.
