Legendary surfer , Bruce Raymond ( Aust. ) ,  blends into   OTW 






Note : Although similar , this photo is Not the Famous shot that was published in SURFING .

Dan Merkel , shot that picture down the beach . I'll take this , because it's style , gritty , and shows how some of the old films are deteriorating ( emulsion splotches ) , my horizon is off , but the Slide is sharp .
