Had a great morning of shooting the guys as they welcome Swamis into the New Year. The colors were amazing…..sun rising over my left shoulder and into the break….just a great time of capturing these amazing colors and surfers.
The swell started off crazy….thick….mushy, even looked like they were surfing in milk at times. There were several out there shredding the entire morning….I even think I saw Johnny Utah and Bhodi out there……
Enjoy the images!
John Cobian (of Cobian Sandles) enjoying the waves....
Amazing watching this kid....he was going off....
This wave was chasing this guy all morning long...
I love capturing moments like this.....it aint the "Jersey Shore", but still looks pretty.....ha
Alex Garcia was killing it all morning long....
Nice spray Alex...
See....look at that....MILK!
Notice how this board is in one piece at this point in the morning....
Thinking "I think I want to break my board today...yup...."
Chris Blabac joins us for a few sets.....
This body surfer at the right place at the right time....
Still in one piece....he really should work harder at breaking this long thing....
Blabac killing it....

Matthew Schuttte...cool guy....with Sunova Surfboards just raging out there.....loved it!
