Morning and Evening Session Today!

Had some great waves in town today! woke up early and went shooting with Nick Mita and Joel Centeio at Big Rights. when we got there it was over cast and not the ideal background to shoot, but the sky cleared out as we were getting ready!

after less than an hour in the water my lens (70 - 200mm) stopped focusing... with my equipment in the housing i had to come in while the guys were ripping.

i got a few good shots tho.

here's joel doing a powerful cut back.

here's nick's crazy fins out air turn! (ha ha, i have no idea any of these crazy turns are called.)

i went home to figure out what was wrong with the lens but i couldn't figure it out. i just gave up and didn't mess with it for about 30 minutes but i tried it again it worked!! i hope it doesn't happen again.

in the evening time i took my wide angle lens to go some flash photography at kewalos. waves were still good and the wind switched to nice light offshore.

Derek (Wong) and Alyssa (Wooten) are back from cali so i got to shoot them tonight.

here's derek ripping as always. i shoot with him a lot so we connect all the time! i just pointed at the lip right above me and derek hit the perfect spot for me to get this shot. i got a sick shot of him in the july issue of heavywater magazine so make sure pick one up when it comes out!

here's alyssa with a sick sunset. it's nice to see her back in hawaii. she had a super busy month. HASA states contest here in hawaii, japan trip for RLM guys and cali for NSSA championship. shiiiiit, when i was 17 i was never that busy...

i think all the kids are back from cali now so i'm gonna be busy again shooting them all the time.

i had another great day! i bet tomorrow's gonna be a great day too!
