curren- so smooth

if you grew up surfing in the last 25yrs, it's hard to deny the influence on all of us via tom curren.  i believe it was lance carson, who stated, "good power surfing will never get old."

as we see the new guard blazing an acrobatic approach to the world tour, i still believe the above quote nails good surfing.  yes, the new school is more wide-open, higher above the lip and arguably more creative as to what-can-be-done on a wave but the good ones start with a foundation of solid power surfing.  phil edwards, billy hamilton, buttons, tom carrol, occy, tyler hatzikian, kelly slater, andy irons, joel parkinson- all great stylish surfers who begin with a foundation of smooth power-surfing and who can deny, perhaps the smoothest, tom curren.  enjoy

passing the knowledge

i've had the pleasure of hangin' on the n. shore with my nephews conner & parker coffin along with friend, keith malloy. i just got a new camera so we decided to jump over, share some waves, shoot some stills and enjoy the aloha. the groms have been cutting their teeth at pipe and keith has been really generous passing down his knowledge. he's also bagged a few gems in the process. he is, the real deal.

you can keep up with the coffin brother antics at their new blog, here.

vibe ride...

i shot this with keith malloy, scott soens & scott kassenoff as a surf unit for a feature film that we won't mention. this was a pre-visualization we cut for the main unit to reference.

keep-a-breast.org event

i recently worked with tyler hatzikian's wife, katherine, to contribute a torso cast for auction.  inspired by one california day, i created a collage of images that represent the history and tradition of the south bay - tyler's home.  i also incorporated a few shots of zeke, the finished piece embodies much of the people and things that have influenced tyler and his wife's company, tyler surfboards.  the benefit raised money and awareness towards www.keep-a-breast.org
