Surf Photography Thread!

..... i only had four days to hang out on the North Shore - no surf - then, on the day I return home, it was 10-18ft at Pipeline

I didn't see any of the competition, but, it was still great just to be there at PipeMasters

Mate, I feel your pain and nearly always have the same bad timing as you. I have travelled to Hawaii from Perth, Australia, 5 times over the last 5 years to see the Vans Triple Crown, and although I have seen some great surf there, I have always just missed the really epic monster swells...Always leaving a bit too early, arriving a bit too late, or on the wrong damn island when it is going off. Despite even spending 3-4 weeks on Oahu on some trips, I still missed the massive swells. I think the only way to guarantee being there at the right time is to spend the entire winter on Oahu.

I have still been lucky enough to see Pipe & Sunset at least double overhead or more, but they have had some massive monster swells over the last few years which I have sadly missed due to poor timing.

The North Shore is an awesome place to shoot when it is pumping. Nothing else compares.

Here's a couple of mine from Pipe & Backdoor.

I am sure we have been on the same North Shore beach's at the same time over the last twenty years

As for the big surf, I was lucky to be there once for the Eddie Aikau Open at Waimea - standing way back off the shore line

Unfortunately, I didn't have my cameras!

Just being there was good enough

Thanks for sharing those images; now I think I will return to Oahu in January!

all the best to you in the New Year

Andrew

Cheers mate. Same to you and your family. Live and breathe the Aloha spirit and enjoy life.
