Balaram Stack and Sean Killarney

I grabbed this image on Monday 9/20 after Balaram and Sean were finished with their session at Lido. Igor swell was providing some pretty substantial swell with plenty of stand up barrels to be had. Seemed to the observer, that only a few in the crowded line up had the skills to really see the full potential of the wave.

For those not in the know, these two guys (Stack and Killarney) epitomize the best of the new york talent pool. Bal is making head way in his quest to move up the pro ranks (Recent win in the Unsound Pro mens), and Sean is a charger in a true sense of the term. Sean has surfed the biggest, hairiest surf that has hit New York historically (think March 11th, and Saint Patty's Day). Serious props to both guys !!
