it’s tough being a kid in hawaii!

It’s mornings like these that I am reminded why I love photographing people in the water. Kids especially, because their stoke-factor and way they interact with the water and each other is so pure, genuine and … inspiring.

On an Island in the Middle of Beqa Lagoon

Welcome to Yanuca Island! Home to a quaint strip of shell-ridden beach line, lofty palm trees, and crystal clear water. Alison and I spent about two weeks soaking in some sun, exploring the island, meeting the villagers of the other

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

Two Days of Gold Coast

Never thought I would be back up to the Gold Coast so soon, but with some time off, I jumped up there and re-connected with some friends. Aside from the sea tics and sketchy swim back at dusk, we absolutely

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.

I flew back to California with the expectation that I would at least be here for the next year, living at my dream spot steps from Blackies and the Newport Pier, then the opportunity to shoot content for Alison’s Adventures

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.

Spontaneous surf sessh at Narrowneck with Pidgey. Conditions were sub-par but without fail, he found a couple of barrels … and some decent rides on a literally unsurfable afternoon.
