Jason and Goliath

Do yourself a favor and save the date for Jason Murray’s Big Wave, Goliaths of the Pacific, show opening on Friday September 16, 2011 @ the KONA Gallery in San Clemente. Jason has circled the globe with the best big wave riders on the planet and has captured some of the heaviest moments you’ve likely ever seen. Just a heads up...Murray doesn’t do small so expect big things. Everything from the catering to the prints to the bar will be larger than life. And with the WCT in town you are sure to see some of the best surfers in the world in attendance. Special thanks to: Daphne’s, Peligroso, Quiksilver and the Vine for their support.
