Cheyne Horan in period colour and board to suit on the groundbreaking
Lexcen/McCoy winged keel design. Whilst critics doubted the validity this
particular Easter with results slipping, next year on a Lexcen/Fitzgerald
winged keel he won the Bell. PC had a unique rapport with everyone. He
could shape-shift to fit a subject’s personality. Notable is Cheyne's
commitment to design evolution, no matter the ramifications, in a highly
subjective sport. Once again, there’s PC striking a photojournalistic balance.
Particularly in the tight space behind PC’s lens, the better the subject, the
better the result. PC could place himself six inches from the best surfers in
the world, pull focus, get the shot, and not be in the way.
