HYPR SUP at Honokohau

Shooting (with my backup camera) for HYPR on an overcast, mostly-flat morning at Honokohau.  The winter swells better be good this upcoming Christmas break! The morning heated up quick.

across the tide pool

Night experimentations out in the tide pools. This session was cut short by an unexpected set that rolled in, splashing my camera, and ending it’s life.  So much it’s supposed “weather protection,” but I guess I shouldn’t have forgotten my

After a morning at Honoli’i, I met up with Malia Lisa Mahealani to do a MM TF shoot at Richardson’s Beach. The water conditions weren’t as clear as we had hoped for, and the currents made everything a lot more

Fun Day w/ Mathieu, Nadia, & Kalani

Early morning photos of a mostly-flat day at Ke’ei, a delicious breakfast at Lava Java, and an afternoon at Kua Bay in the best company of new friends one could ever ask for. Today was definitely a summer highlight.

Another Kohanaiki Sunset

Gorgeous sunset, but small waves again.  Stoked to be home for the winter, so I take some actual surf/action shots rather than all these random summer wave/water shots. View more from this afternoon, here.

Kohanaiki Sunset

This place is always the best when tradewinds blow away the vog during the day, then stop to take a rest at sunset. View more from this afternoon, here.

Ke’ei

An adventure down to Ke’ei beach, down by Honaunau / Kealakekua Bay! The waves were smaller than hoped for, but it was still an incredible place to shoot! Caves, canary fish, untouched corals, and prickly black wana everywhere. View more

Trip to Kohala & Hilo

Early morning trip through Kohala and Hilo with some friends. It was awesome to drive through the areas and see what’s changed and what hasn’t in the past year. The Kohala Lighthouse is gone! Drought since November has dried up

The Bay @ Kohanaiki

Early morning photos in the bay at Pine Trees. It turned into a windswept chop pretty early in the morning though, so I didn’t stay for long.

The Rock @ Kohanaiki (revisited)

Re-crusing the Rock out at Pine Trees to get some better surf shots! I pre-packed my housing at home, instead of down at the beach, and it definitely lasted a lot longer in the water before it started fogging up!

Cruising The Rock today out at Pine Trees with some old friends. My housing fogged up way too quickly though as the morning heated up, so I have to figure out a better way to pack it.
