Surfer

Surfer, originally known as Surfer Carrying a Surfboard, is a sample picture included in Windows XP Release Candidate 1 builds 2474 to 2485, licensed from Corbis. It was taken by the late Craig Aurness, the co-founder of Westlight, a stock photo agency Corbis acquired in 1998. It depicts a male surfer walking across the beach at Waimea, Hawaii, USA with a surfboard. Much like the other RC1 sample pictures (excluding Winter forest), it was not included in the final release of XP. As of 2020 it can no longer be licensed, as Getty Images have not converted it from the now discontinued rights-managed to royalty free.
