This is a shot I have envisioned in my head for a while, and only possible to shoot today with the invention of the GoPro. Shot at a beach break near my home. The board broke on this wave, but the vision made it worthwhile. Shot with the GoPro Hero 3+ and a Gripstick Pro Mount. Photo:

This is one of my favorite waves to photograph. It's called “The Bubble” and produces some of the most picture-perfect waves. Photo:

Kelly at Backdoor on an early morning surf before the Masters started for the day. The beach was already packed, and I am sure a lot of people were wondering what this guy is doing laying on his stomach in the sand with a long lens. It must have looked random, like I was just shooting sand. I like the warm and cool tones of this image. 1/800@f5.6 ISO200. Shot with a 500mm lens. Photo:

First day. The swell wasn't quite there yet, but we were the only boat out, plus one Jet ski. Sunny, glassy, amazing waves and a bunch of friends having a blast. What a memorable day. Photo: Claudia Boily

This wave is right on my doorstep, in front of a quiet little fishing town. You can get so many awesome line up shots from within the town. Photo:
