Inspired by South African professional surfing sensation Paul "Chow" Sampson, the "Chow Air Show" aims to inspire and shift the focus from traditional carving to explosive aerial maneuvers, mimicking the distinct, gravity-defying "Chow" style that captured the global surf arena's attention.

Lightning over Lion’s Head 🫪🙌⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

We’ve been having some really unusual weather with the El Niño effects this month. Muggy weather, heatwaves, regular thunder and lightning at night.

The electrical storm so brilliantly captured on time lapse by 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 at 4am yesterday, took some major effort and skill to get the shots. Phenomenal 🙌 Nature is so powerful, and beautiful.
