This image by photographer Ben Thouard of surfer Ace Buchan surfing in Teahupo'o, Tahiti was both the overall winner and the “Energy” category winner. Thouard: “This photo was shot during a freesurf session right before a World Championship Tour surfing event in Teahupo'o. This is Ace Buchan kicking out from the barrel through the wave, a technique to escape a close-out wave. Luckily I was right below, breathless with my waterhousing waiting for this moment.” (© Copyright Ben Thouard / Red Bull Illume)
