SW JWCF Slider Session
Yesterday was a much-needed day of SW winds. I spent most of the morning getting things done in the office then headed out to shoot. We haven’t made a video in quite some time, so we decided it was time to do a little edit. Ryan, Nick and Charley pulled out the sliders and then the crew showed up and threw down all day. The two standouts from the day were without a doubt Sam Bell and Brian Smith.
I took a break from shooting to go ride and had one of my most fun slider sessions in a very long time. Mojo Collins, Legendary Folk ‘n Blues Artist, played on the back deck at Mojo’s Sunset Café, as I took pictures of Brandon, Trevor and Brian doing tricks over the dock.

The Kite Dress by Charley Friedman
Last night I did a fun shoot with Claire Lutz and Charley Friedman. Charley designed a dress out of an old unused kite. Claire did the modeling. Brian, Mel and Nick helped out with the shoot (mostly holding back all of Claire and Charley’s fans). We shot the picture near the dunes of the Atlantic Ocean at the end of my street. I’m very excited as to how the images came out. Unfortunately, I cannot share them until they run. So stay tuned…

REAL Ad in Surfer Mag
REAL’s Ad in the summer issue of Surfer Magazine. I shot this picture a few months ago. It was a mission as the sun rose around 5-5:30 back there. It was a half hour drive not even knowing if there would be a good sunrise. Luckily there was a decent sunrise and I was able to put this shot together. The Ad is to bring awareness to the fight to keep the beaches open to people and off road vehicles. As of today 3 of the 4 ramps from Waves to Avon are closed due to animal closures.

Evening Surf at S-Turns
There was little in the way of wind yesterday. In fact it was a pretty ugly day as a massive storm tracked across the radar. It only rained a bit here, but remained gray and depressing. Some of the guys talked about heading out for a kite session after work in the light onshore winds but I decided it wasn’t going to happen.
I headed back home when I got a call from Scotty who said they were heading out to surf at S-Turns. So I headed up there. I put the housings together to try and get some surf shots. The waves were very small but happening. Scott, Rick and I showed up to see Matt Lane already in the water and getting mini barrels.
The guys switched off helping me hold the flash while the others surfed. There are a couple fun shots, though nothing terrific, but I see the potential fore sure. As we were heading out of the water from our session, the sky broke open to revile a fantastic sunset. I took a couple pics of Scotty and rick and then called it a night.

Kiteboarding all Sunday-long
Adding to yesterdays great surf session, today was full of kiteboarding sessions. We woke up early as the wind was forecasted to die out by noon. We were on the water by 6:30am. There was a crew there, Brian, Brandon, Rick, Hedi, Charlie and Mel. It was Mel’s first day going up wind from one point. We rode up into the slick and rode for a while, then headed in for a break. The wind cranked all day long. I headed out again after that and rode in front of REAL for a little. I rode the dock for a bit, even though the wind was a little too west.
I then took another break and headed home for food. It was back to REAL for a shoot as the sun was starting to go down. Brandon and Brian rode for me for a bit in the Slick. Then I headed out with Charlie for another dock sliding session. I then cruised up wind into the Slick as the wind started to pick up. I met up with Mel who was already out ripping her way up to the Slick. I did a few big jumps and then called it a day. It was a perfect weekend of surf, wind and sun.
