hey there, NOVEMBER

finally back home after the past few months of travelling through australia, the grand canyon, and california. surfing once, if not twice a day was the prescription after such a length of time away from my favourite warm hawaiian water.

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

A morning out with Johnny Abegg & Alex Frings

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.

Waipio Valley

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.
