Animated surfing GIFs: sharing the stoke, frame by frame

Surfing is quite a graphical sport. Photos of barrels, wipeouts, rad turns, and impossible airs are getting new lives with the retro animated GIFs.

Animated surfing GIFs are small treasures with stories behind them. A perfect barrel, for example, has its highest moment when the surfer is deep in it.

You can also tell how good a surfer is when he carves his surfboard's rail on the face of the wave in less than two seconds.

A wave in motion is something our eyes can't miss. You imagine yourself riding it. Endlessly.

Freeze the moment. Freeze the surfing frames and watch it as many times as you wish until you're totally surfed out.
