From a boat to the side of the action, Brouillet waited for Medina to surf out of the wave where he captured the now-viral photo.
I like to say that taking pictures is a bit like surfing. It's a mix of preparation, devotion, timing, some experience and a touch of luck, Brouillet wrote in an Instagram post featuring the photo.
When Medina first entered the wave, one of the biggest of the day, Brouillet could tell that something special was going to happen, he told the AFP.
Sometimes he makes an acrobatic gesture and this time he did that and so I pushed the button,' he told the AFP.
