Noah Beschen runs over buoyant bikini gal!
Noah Beschen is the dazzling, almost 16 year old, son of one-time tour superstar Shane.
A few years ago, while talking biz with his daddy, I watched the tiny blond-haired, brown-skinned boy (a mix of Californian and Central American genes) skate the pool at Bondi, then terrorise the waves out front. Don’t you wish you had the same kinda childhood, hunting waves and skate parks, instead of kicking cans around y’crummy neighbourhood miles from the beach?
Anyway, this sequence, by the Hawaiian photographer Tony Heff, has always fascinated me. I saw it on Matt Biolos’ Instagram a lil while ago and figured it was some kinda advertising shoot. It looks set-up, yeah? It ain’t.
Turns out Noah and Heff were kicking around Ehukai’s little sandbar when Noah got a dreamy lil runner, Heff set up for the shot, and “suddenly he saw the lady right in his path,” says Heff, “but she couldn’t get out of the way in time. It seems like he did everything he could to get out of her way but she looked too buoyant to go underneath the water and he ran the back of her feet over. Noah wiped out and she came up holding her leg, wincing in pain. She couldn’t talk. Her husband, he sounded Brazilian, was yelling at her from the beach, ‘Are you ok? Are you ok?’ I was bummed because I thought she’d ruined my photo. Later, my friend was looking at the photos on my camera and couldn’t stop laughing.”
Let’s examine!

Bullshit, that fat?
Odds are she’s American alright…
Fuck me apparently the surf pros start dumb they don’t just achieve that status later. That Noah little dumb fuck thought this was what his coach meant when he told him to do a proper “bottom turn”…
I’d fucking kill him if he rode over my girlfriends leg, I’d rip his head off!
C’mon Jimmy
You’d probably kill yourself first if you had a girlfriend that fat!
LaFawnduh is kind to me!
Wouldn’t you feel a little bad for beating on a minor after you learned it was only a leg cramp she had from pushing all that weight around?
Nah not really, I’m not really much of a saint really am I?
Too bad he didn’t backdoor that tube, it looks inviting.
Pelligrine returns!
Look how wide that stance is… on both of ’em.
I love how gamely she tries to submerge! But the physics of the operation fight back!
Is it just me or is it way funnier because the husband is Brazilian?
…it did, inexplicably, add to the humour, I thought…
Inexplicable indeed….speaking of which do you reckon her bikini started its life as a g-banger or it just ended up that way? You know, like physics and shit.
She insisted on 14 bottoms…
If my little esky is anything to go by she is packing approx. 14 litres in each cheek. Hopefully someone can make a funny joke about a bottom turn here too. Then my life will be complete.
just the “bottom turn top turn combination” was all I could think of from Pottz right at moment
upvote for use of “g-banger”

You are plagiarizing Surfer. The ran this as a full page shot years ago.
…it did? But it’s still gives a little thrill?
Fuck Surfer.
