Legendary surf photographer Hank Foto, one of the most recognizable lensman to work for Surfing Magazine, has died.
By the early 1980s, he had moved into surf photography, and “Snack Bar Hank” eventually became the “Hank Foto” known throughout the surfing world.
Hank made his first surf photography trip to Bali in 1983.
Among his most notable images was a 1994 Surfing Magazine cover photograph of Erik Barton at Teahupo’o in Tahiti.
“We lost a good one in Hank Foto yesterday after a battle with cancer,” Slater writes.
