Hey folks, hope you’re all having a great 4th of July weekend, those of you in the U.S. Here’s a picture of the fireworks from Turtle Bay
last night with the infamous Pool Bar in the foreground…
Home Sweet Home
Lane and I just spent the last couple of days over on the BIG island of Hawaii, relaxing and checking the place out a little. Lane grew up on the Big island, so she’s always stoked to go back there. She even got a couple of decent surfs in at Banyons while we were [...]
Another feather in the cap
One thing that we surf photographers have always prized pretty much higher than anything else is the cover shot, particularly one that’s done with a purely art driven purpose, as opposed to what most covers are these days, which are usually pictures that are not much more than logo shot for the big surf companies. [...]
Davey Art in The Grafik Museum
My mate Dan over at the Grafik Museum, loves it when I throw a new batch of images at him. Check it out…
fins n’ palms
I love finding pictures in all shapes, colors, tones and contrasts. This one seems to have captured a little bit of everything. The old rusting pick up truck with the surfboards hanging out the back, backdropped by a brilliant red twilight sky at Haleiwa beach park, on the north shore. Just [...]
Hawaii’s Tsunami threat now over
Just about all of you know about the Chilian earthquakewhich occured last night and the resulting tsunami threat which had
all of Hawaii on full alert till well into the afternoon. I started the day out being woken by about a dozen tourists packing all their stuff into their cars out in the parking [...]
Uh Oh, looks like a legitimate Tsunami coming for Hawaii
We woke very early this morning to tourists scrambling to get their stuff packed into cars and out of here. A massive earthquake in Chili last night was called a Super-Quake. Apparently they only happen in the world like 0.3 times a year, which is one every 3 years in the entire world. [...]

Enjoy

Let’s help out Kehau Sullivan
As many of you know, I’ve been lucky enough to live here on the north shore for the past 12 or so years and during all this time, I’ve been really good mates with Pancho Sullivan and now his wife Hanauni and young family. Pancho and I have been [...]
Mick Fanning wins the world surfing championship at the Pipe masters
It was an amazing day of surfing at the Pipe Masters. Mick Fanning won his round three heat against young Hawaiian; Torrey Meister, keeping the dream alive, then the ball fell into Joel Parkinson’s court for his matchup against Hawaiian surfer Gavin Gillette. Joel pretty much had the [...]
Pipe Masters runs another half day before holding off for the big stuff
It’s been a couple of days of the Pipe Masters already, but everyone’s is in such a daze after the recent Giant swell episode that the appeal of the Pipe Masters is not as it usually would be. Given that it’s only 3-5 foot on average, doesn’t help with one’s enthusiasm that much. [...]
Awesome day at the Eddie Aikau big wave surfing invitational
Hi all, wow, what a few days, it has been. I slept over at the Rip Curl Off The Wall house the night before the contest because they said the roads would be closed down and I wanted to be right there, where it was all going down. The rumble of [...]
Eddie went at Waimea Bay
Hi all, I’m super slammed here with a backlog of photo “processing” to do from the past few epic days at Waimea Bay, so I won’t dwell here long, but to say that it’s been an amazing couple of days here. I shot crazy huge Waimea yesterday morning for a [...]
The Bay went HUGE today, but the Eddie waits another day
We have a massive, massive swell filling in round the north shore right now. I have to get right back up there before they shut it all down, so you won’t be hearing from me again till tomorrow night. Till then, check this beast from Waimea Bay, this morning….
A pleasant afternoon on the north shore
It’s been a few days of relentless wind and rain squalls, so it was a bit of a pleasant surprise when it turned sunny with light off-shores this afternoon. I guess everyone was watching it because there were way more photographers than name surfers at Off The Wall, this afternoon. [...]
Big surf in Hawaii
The surf was pretty big on the north shore of oahu today, the 25th of November 2008. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and surfers in Hawaii have much to be thankful for.
4000 FOOT TSUNAMI OVER HONOLULU
From my “what if” file; a picture of A 4000 FOOT TSUNAMI OVER HONOLULU
perhaps a real case scenario if the movie 2012 has an credibility. Like many of my pictures, this image is available as a fine art print in a wide range of sizes at surfphotosart.com
Consolidated Amusements Hawaii has the best theatrical trailer in the world
Just about anyone who’s been to a few movies in Hawaii is familiar with the cool traditional Hawaiian style theatrical trailer that they show before every major feature at Consolidated Amusements theaters. I’ve been living here for 12 years now and I always enjoy watching the trailer before the film. Come to think of it, [...]
Green Shimmer is born
Hi everyone. It’s pretty much straight into summer here in Hawaii now. temps are nipping at 90 most days. water’s clean and green (or blue). When it gets all summery here, I like to start the day off real early and go see what i can photograph in the early light. [...]
