photo In the 1950s and 1960s there was no California craze bigger than surfing. In the wake of it, magazines like SURFER and LONGBOARDER sprang up and no sooner, a demand for photos to fill them. A working day for Scott Aichner, one of today's most sought-after surf photographers, means diving below twenty foot waves to surface only inches away from a speeding board. Instinct is everything -- not only to grab the perfect shot but to keep from being gored by the very subjects he is photographing. EGG gets a history of surf through the eyes of the photographers who love it.
