Another over hyped crappy south swell - Stoked to be working with Macy Mullen again!


I woke up early today thinking there's going to be a good south swell as every surf report has been telling us. I even talked to Macy Mullen and met up with him to go shoot some photos.

Macy and I used to go shoot all the time before he moved to California. We used to click so well, i could be half sleep and still get some great shots. Only think i didn't like was that he would call me at 6am so we can meet up at 10am... I'm not a morning person so i used to get mad at him for waking me up all the time. ha ha.

I think i had both of my eyes closed cuz I only had 2 hours of sleep thank to Macy waking me up back in 2007... still connected with him getting the shot. ha ha.

This was the first time us working together since he moved back here. I was super excited to shoot him, just like the old days!

We met up and checked everywhere starting at Diamond Head stopping and checking all the spots until we got to Kewalos.

Why the loooong surf check? Cuz the condition and this supposed to be "good" swell SUCKED! There were some decent size waves here and there but nothing close to what every surf report was saying. Long wait and not even that big... another over hyped south swell.

Macy and I didn't really care tho. we were so excited to work together, we jumped in the water hoping for the best but expecting nothing.

if you were there watching the waves, you'd be amazed we even got these shots. so i guess we still clicked pretty good. (btw, it so weird to see my photography logo... i haven't used it in years now but i figured i use it since Macy is not a grom or Jr. ha ha.)


Kapu Ping came out expecting way better waves too. Now it was really like the old days! I met Kapu through Macy years ago and we used to go shoot together all the time.


I know you guys want to see the BEST shot of the day... well, here it is!

Just look at the amazing style Macy's known for and Diamond Head in the back just sealed the deal! We were done after this since we knew we got the SHOT! ha ha.

It was great working with Macy again. Even with today's far from great waves, we were out there having fun making fun of each other. i think i got more workout from laughing so much than being out there shooting. ha ha.
