The surf looks good...

Not with that big ass fin in it.

Uh-oh... not too far from SWS.

That photo is old, I've seen it before several times.

Weird! That's the EXACT same photo I posted on HERE like 5yrs ago!!!

Yeah, this is my post from December 2006!

Pretty sh*tty journalism if they are posting that as a new pic.

Once again Fox news reports bullshit   

I saw you commented PK.

I sent the author an email as well.

Nicely done Jim!

A simple google image search shows that this is so old, it was on someone's myspace page.  Remember myspace?  That was eons ago.

Jim, you should send that to the guy's boss / editor - or another news organization. Otherwise there is no check on the quality of this guys work.

I know Nick Vandevert!  He rented my house in Big Sur.  That picture is old.  I'll get to the bottom of it!

I got a quick response back:

 

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out! This was sent to me from what I believed was a reliable source and I was taking his word that he said he took photo a few days ago with his son. There really is no way to confirm every photo icoverage that comes in, but you have a point. It's not like any official could verify even if I made dozens of calls. it was his word against others, but I see what you mean. It's an amazing photo, but of course it would be wrong to post if it is not accurate. Thank you again I really appreciate it.
