“This was simply another mid-seventies afternoon at Rocky Point,” recalls legendary photographer Bernie Baker. “There were maybe four people out. I lived at Sunset (still do) as one of Surfer Magazine’s senior staff photographers along with master Steve Wilkings, but he lived with his family in Honolulu and the four foot days were not on his winter shooting schedule, so I held down the fort out here, chasing the small stuff by myself. Back then, winter was over for most cameras by late January, leaving me the nine-mile coast to shoot by myself. The lady is Teri Melanson, probably the best local haole girl surfer living out here at the time (today she’s teaching golf pros in LA). She knew everyone, so she got any wave she wanted out there. Being the free spirit that she was, she was surfing Rocky’s late in the day, topless and stylishly. I went down to shoot some late-in-the-day speed blurs and at that moment it was simply being in the right place at the right time. It was shot on Kodachrome 25mm slide film, so all I knew was that out of four waves she rode, I had at least one good frame. When she came in, we talked about doing something more than just getting the best shot to the mag for editorial (for Surfer back then, the winter season was already over and they were looking at the spring stuff coming up, not just another late winter day with a hot chick). Plus, every public library in the US would have cancelled their subscription if that had shown up (what a hell of a cover that would have made!) as a spread. The shot became part of a poster series called Hawaii Naturally. My film partners at Island Style put up the bucks for a few thousand-copy print run. Within a few months, we were out of copies, it had gone around the world to every surf shop and more. Today, I have only one poster to my name and that was a gift from one of my best mates!”
