My good friend Tyler Reid hit me up Saturday to take the skis out on base. Saturday was overhead but with a passing storm the conditions were pretty sloppy.
We assumed Sunday was going to be a lot cleaner, which it was....Read More
Another reef in the Indian Ocean that doesn't really receive a lot of attention. Every other spot this day had funky winds and wrong swell direction. We boated around to about three different spots before we pulled up here. Almost like clockwork, the clouds broke and the sun started beating down. It was by far the hottest day yet....Read More
If no one is out and a barrel goes by unridden, does it spit? Usually this spot is heaving on nearly dry reef, however this day was very playful and forgiving...for the most part. I was out earlier in the day by myself while the boys were on the boat relaxing. I was getting the best barrels I have ever had with no one around to witness besides the locals fishing on the reef....Read More
Sometimes it's too hot to continue your daily routine in Central America. More often than not the locals stop what they are doing and just lounge around. I have come to appreciate these "siestas" and wish Americans would embrace that part of Latin American culture. This photo was shot late in the afternoon right as the locals are about to...Read More
The coastline south of the States is lined with numerous nooks and crannies where you can score waves all to yourself. A lot of these spots have been getting more and more attention in the recent years thanks to inventions such as google earth. Anyone can log on the computer and look for ideal surfing setups book a flight and go. While these...Read More
California is a stopping point for many international surfers. Whether they be from Australia, Europe, Japan, or even just the other side of the country on the east coast. A lot of people stop here to take a break and live the good life of crowded line ups and moderate water temperatures. Here we have Floridian Blake Jones visiting North County San...Read More
When the world tour comes to Southern California, everyone and I mean EVERYONE heads to Trestles to see what's up with the top 45. The beach is lined with so many people it's hard to find a place to sit, let alone set up a 600mm lens and shoot the guys out in the water. The surfing community expects to see them pushing the limits...Read More
Fall is my favorite time to be a Californian. The temperature starts to cool down, people start heading back to school and work, and slowly things return to normal down at the beach. Santa Ana winds start blowing early in the morning and we get swell from both the Southern and Northern hemisphere. Living in San Diego offers up some really good waves this time of year....Read More
Here is another day where I am truly proud to be from California. The night before I am checking the buoys and the tides and the wind forecast, hoping that everything aligns just right. I arrived at the beach before the sun rose to see a frames breaking up and down the beach. I call the boys to see where they are surfing to find out that my friends...Read More
Digital cameras these days are so fast they capture moments our eyes would never see. This shot is one of my favorite over-under shots I have captured so far with my housing from Del Mar Housing Projects. I try and obtain different angles rather than your standard tube shot you see with underwater surf photography....Read More
