About the shot :

Big expectations on the “new” The Ocean Race and the impressive foiling IMOCA’s. The around the world race couldn’t have started in a better way, a beautiful sunny breezy day in Alicante. Just after the start of the first leg of The Ocean Race, Malizia - Seaexplorer while reaching to the first mark, got a big gust launching herself to a massive wheelie. Even more impressive was the way that smoothly came down and kept ripping to the mark.
