Another magazine cover, this one from Portugal
I actually had these folks at Surf Portugal contact me recently because they owed me a bunch of money. They also sent me some magazines, one of them a cover shot of mine from about 5 years ago but I only just got to see it. Just thought I’d share this [...]
Huntington Beach Pier, this morning
Hey Folks, I shot this cool image of Huntington Beach Pier in Southern California, this morning. We don’t really have anything like these piers in Hawaii, so it’s pretty cool to get a chance to photograph ‘em. Enjoy!
An Aussie pictorial in Parafina Magazine
I just wanted to point you towards a pretty cool on line magazine from Brazil called Revista Parafina . I’ve been working with these guys for a while and I reckon they have one of the coolest on line magazines that I have seen anywhere, even despite that I can’t read it [...]
Kickin’ it in Tonga, without a care in the world
This is a picture from one of a few a trips that I’ve made to the kingdom of Tonga over the years. I got to know Steve Burling many years ago who owns a low key, family orientated
surf resort on the main island in the kingdom of Tonga . [...]
No parking meters at the beach, here
Anyone who lives in anything resembling a large town or city, will most likely be familiar with the routine of having to stuff coins in the parking meter when they go for a surf. Not so here on King Island. I’d say parking meters are at least hundred years away from [...]
kickin it – island style
Been quite literally chilling out here the last couple of days after a cold front came through and changed the heat of summer in a matter of hours to the cold of winter. Such are the dramatic weather changes in this part of of the world. Here are some scenes from the island..
SUP to da max! until it got too big anyway
The SUP crew ( Stand Up Paddle surfers ) held a contest at Sunset Beach a few days ago and it was pretty border line on weather anyone really should have been out there. A very large west swell pushed the take off zone well over to Kammies which made for some interesting [...]
New Oahu Travel guide uses Davey Photography
My main picture agent Aurora Photos just sent out this press release this morning. It seems that they have been quite busy, getting my images out there. Enjoy…
A whole different state of mind to Hawaii
With all the radical weather that’s been hitting the U.S. and Europe this year, I thought I’d spare a thought for our colder surfing bretheren. As many of you know, I originated from a pretty cool place myself. The Australian island state of Tasmania, but unlike the Hawaii’an islands, this place [...]
Another Monster day at the Bay in store for tomorrow
We are expecting another huge swell at Waimea Bay tomorrow morning. Already the buoys have hit 25 feet, 17 seconds and are set to go higher till sometime tomorrow morning. I’ll be up in the dark tomorrow morning, scoping out the Bay. I might have a new swag [...]
River surfing at waimea Bay
I was on my way over to Haleiwa with Jamie Obrien today when we noticed the river flowing at Waimea, so we stopped in for a look. It was rad. there were like 4-5 foot standing waves at times and surfers were just frothing on every peak that [...]

Taj Burrow takes the 2009 Pipe Masters mantel
They ran the finals of the Pipe Masters yesterday and although it wasn’t exactly
real Pipeline, it was a lot better than some previous finals days. At least we had tubes offer. There was only one Hawaiian surfer left in the mix, my good friend Flynn Novak who was up [...]
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.
Every which way but up
A ton of crew have descended on the north shore during the last week and there were so many faces out there today that I didn’t recognise. This was one of them and he wasn’t holding back.

Jamie Obrien bag’s his first BIG Pipe Barrel of the 09-10 season
He caught this ridiculous barrel just half an hour into his surf.
Derek Ho, still a Pipe Master after all these years
Anyone who’s watched the north shore over the past 15 or 20 years will tell you thruthfuly, who the best guys are out at Pipe. One guy that will be on everyone’s list is Derek Ho. He always finds the cleanest most beautiful Pipeline barrels and rides them with absolute ease, grace and supreme [...]
A new swell, another Rocky’s sesh
I mosied on down to Rockys to scope it early this morning and the conditions were quite nice, before the wind got into it. Wasn’t really any pro’s out there till later in the session. Some of them were turning up as I left actually. Had it been the old days, [...]
Surf’s up!
I guess that new north west swell that everyone’s been talking up has arrived. Looks pretty strong, although long between sets, which is typical of early season swells, here. I was checking it out at Off The wall this morning with Archy and got these few snaps. As you’ll see from the [...]
first blood, 2009 season
We had our first north swell pulse of the season over the past couple of days. It wasn’t really anything epic, but hey, it was still August, which is pretty early for north pulses. Here’s a few pic’s of the crew doing their thing at early season rockies….
The 10 best world champion surfers of all time
I was talking with a friend about the ten best surfers on the planet and I was thinking how impossible, it felt to pick just 10 as it’s not really set in stone. There’s so many factors that governs one choices. At least with actual world champions, it is set in stone, so [...]
Locals day on Hobart’s amazing pointbreaks, in Tasmania
Being a Tasmanian myself, I like to head back there around Autumn time each year as it is one of my absolute favourite places to shoot photos. On my 2006 trip with Mark Healey, Jamie Sterling and the Long bro’s, we scored the extremely elusive Hobart point-breaks on what many were calling the [...]
