Tout est possible...

“I try to surf with people better than me as motivation, to push me to grow. I watch some of the top girls and try to work out their strategies, what type of maneuvers score them the highest points, and then I build that into my own performances.”

- Pauline Ado

Had some time the other day to walk around with one of Frances golden girls, Pauline Ado. Coming from a family with no surf background, Pauline paved the way for herself as well as her home country by becoming the first surfer to win a world title for France.

A Day with Bianca Buitendag

"My heart thrives when I see people reach their full potential or when someone breaks through the oppression of its circumstances. I keep my eyes and heart wide open. I long for adventure, love the unexpected and the unlikely." - Bianca Buitendag

Spent the day with this gem of a human. Picked up some CI boards and Roxy suits for the US Open and also took a quick surf. Here are some captures to show the day.

With this project, I sought to stay nostalgic with black and white but also to provide new and unique angles in the ocean.

Ty Mattson

Work hard and then go play hard. Or if you are Ty Mattson, you play hard where you work hard. Had the absolute pleasure of hanging out with Ty Mattson a few weeks ago at his studio over in Irvine. This guy has a ton of passion for what he does as well as knowledge about his craft. With a studio that can inspire just about anyone, it's hard to leave without having a creative idea.

Michael Woodhead // Foam Dust

Who says a little manual labor isn't good for the soul? Michael Woodhead of MAW Surfboards thinks it is. Hand crafting surfboards is one of the many things this guy can do, and do well. If you are in need of a custom board, hit this guy up.

Cheers

Bailey Nagy // Sundaze

When the forces of nature mix simple and classy, Bailey Nagy is the final result. From the streets to the beach, miss Nagy keeps it real. Expect big things from this young lady, after all, she can drive with her foot out the window.

Cheers

Kiana Fores // Flow

I could say Kiana is talented, graceful, funny, or charming, but words won’t do her justice. See for yourself.

Cheers

Philly

It's hard to appreciate Americas history until you visit the place where it all began. Here are some shots from a recent trip to Philadelphia this past month.

Aloha

The Aloha spirit is alive and well on the North Shore of Oahu. I recently took a trip to Hawaii, and Thinh Nguyen (pictured) volunteered to house me during my stay. Coolest guy, amazing family, and an incredible place. I’ll be back, until then…

Senior Year

It’s that time of the year again, caps, gowns and of course, photos are upon us. Haley Bell, reminding us all to smile because life just keeps getting better. Congrats!

Cheers

Lowers

Lowers (n.) A California staple, breeding ground for cutbacks, spray, and above the lip antics.

Always exciting to shoot the pros or locals absolutely ripping at this iconic location. Stay frothing friends.

Cheers

Friends

Photos are great, friends are even better, taking photos of your friends, the best. Feeling thankful.

Cheers

Malia

I had the pleasure of capturing the stunning Malia Ward. The always smiling, joke telling, Malia carries herself with such grace and ease few humans posses. More to come.

Cheers
