This is the kind of perfection Im talking about. Here is a close-up example of the canvas. Notice the reflection of the lip on the face of the wave.

Text Box: An Amazing February Shows Da Kine in 2009.     fotos by WK and Mo-town

Text Box: After countless days of good surf, this was a day that out shined recent memory… and history.

 

Text Box: Me looking for a good place to paddle-out.

 

Text Box: This photo was taken past the rocks, way down on the far side of the sand-point.

Text Box: My personal ‘photos of the year”.

 

Text Box: PHOTO 1: Hmmm. I was bummed that Mo, my friend who shot these photos, wasn't surfing. He hurt his neck pretty bad, and he was unable to surf this day. I have gotten some great images of him surfing in the past, and I didn't expect him to take photos of me. Now I cant thank him enough. I never want to forget this day.

 

Text Box: PHOTO 2: It had been raining all morning. It was overcast, and pretty dark out to be shooting photos. My friend Mo had never used my Camera. No tri-pod. I know photographers that never would have tried shooting.  So, how did these photos even come out at all? Was it the perfect waves? Mo being attentive? My abilities?   I think it was mostly the perfect waves, because the ocean was in rare form this day.

 

Text Box: PHOTO 3: There were many seconds spent behind the glass curtain, and more than one wave left me amazed I made it all the way through.

 

Text Box: I think this place can produce some  of the most beautiful waves anywhere in the world. Maybe Im partial due to growing up here in Northern California, I dunno.  Some people hate surfing in 52 deg. water, but I don't mind…. there was no one out. Ha ha.

 

Text Box: PHOTO 4: Driving for the end, and continually setting my line for speed was the way I was making these waves.

Text Box: Unexplainable beauty.

 

Text Box: I wasn't the only person getting barreled out there.

 

Text Box: Here Santa Cruz surfer Omar “Etch” sets up another amazing barrel.

Text Box: Omar is buried deep inside this really hollow section. He got shot out the end a little while later, after enjoying the view. ha.

 

Text Box: Here my friend Jed pulls into a grinder.

 

Text Box: Omar on a wave that looks more like some small wave in the South Pacific.

 

Text Box: An artsy-fartsy photo I couldn't help but throw in. So pretty this day.

 

Text Box: Jed again, weaving through the spinning barrels.

 

Text Box: Jed edging into the side of a gem.
