Gliding underwater with turtles
A lot of folks visit the islands to see the huge surf during our winter months, but just as many people visit the north shore to see what else is out here, during the summer months in particular. Just about anywhere along the north shore, you can throw on [...]

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…
A golden North Shore outrigger sunset
A familiar site with anyone who cruises around Haleiwa in the late afternoons, here on the north shore are the outriggers . Prety much most afternoons, they are there doing their thing with the sun setting in the background. Photographing it was a bit like the proverbial saying “shooting ducks [...]
The Rainbow’s never end
It gets pretty busy up here on the north shore, but right now at this time of the year, it is soooooo mellow. Take this scene for example. It’s like about 8.30 in the morning and it’s deserted. The rainbows’s don’t stop though. They can be seen doing their thing 24-7 in [...]
Flashback to this time ten years ago
We are flashing back to around this time, ten years ago ago and kam Highwaywas blocked by a rockslide for months. Eventually they needed to do something, so they built a road right across Waimea Beach. It was something else…
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 [...]
Picture of the day; Pipe Turtle
This was the very first ever picture that I made of a turtle. I was swimming at Pipeline one day and noticed this turtle cruising by and so I dove down and squeezed off just one fabulous frame of fujichrome Velvia. This is still one of my favorite Turtle images, despite that fact [...]
“Waimea Power” nets another double
As many of you know, it’s been an amazing season here for really big surf. One of my favourite images from the recent big swell episodes was one such image that I captured late in the day before the Eddie ran. This picture of several surfers just [...]

Mele Kalikimaka from da North shore!
Wow, what a crazy few weeks, it’s been here on the north shore lately. There’s been so much going on round the place. Finally Christmas came around we got the north shore back all-be-it for a week or little more. So quiet round here at the [...]
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….
Eddie Aikau, to Go or not to Go!
There’s all kinds of rumors running rampant around the north shore right now. Some crew even reckon the national guard is coming in tonight to road block the north shore and that it will be this way for 2 days. If that happens, what will become of the Eddie Aikau big wave [...]
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. [...]
Update on the current big swell event in the Hawaii’an islands
Yesterday’s big wave episode really didn’t pan out to be that great. The swell was coming up all day long but the weather conditions deteriated to about as dark as you can get with regular rain showers and stuff. I started out by checking out Sunset. There were [...]
