Two weeks of Cloudbreak
Amazing to see this place in its different facets over two weeks – dead flat, softly shoulder-high, peaky and blown out, an offshore 8ft at 16 seconds, glassy and perfect 8-10ft stand-up barrels, and maxing out at 15ft+. Any of

The reef is SO alive! The second day out here, Alison took a wipeout on the reef nearing lowtide and got a lovely staph infection in her feet. Unhappily taking antibiotics, it kept her off her board for a few

Blue Duck Station
I thought I was going to go crazy when we first arrived at the most landlocked location on the north island of New Zealand – Blue Duck Station. 10 days away from the ocean!? Sounds great! I don’t think I

Cockatoo Paul is your ultimate Australian bushman. He’s a one man band that can do anything and everything. You wouldn’t be able to walk 1 meter with him through the “weeds” in your backyard, before he would be stopped dead

This morning session with Johnny Abegg and Alex Frings included the company of a shark and pod of dolphins. This session nearly tops my list of most favourite sessions ever.

Ashley & Matt literally ‘showed me the town’ as we went around SD for their save-the-date photosession. Engagement sessions are always fun, but this one was especially because it felt more like an “adventure” rather than a typical 1-location 1-hour

An early morning adventure down to Waipio Valley. Wave size, glassy conditions and swell direction were a sweet, pre-sunrise surprise, but absolutely impractical to shoot in the water with the ripping currents and overhead, picture-perfect barrels breaking over 5ft of

I failed at capturing any decent surf action shots this day but it sure was nice to jump back in the warm Kona waters and get pushed around by relatively large sets.
