When I first started shooting photos, my family was my main subject. I would swim for hours and hours trying to get the shot. Somedays we would hang out at Backdoor all morning long. I would wait in the impact zone until I see movement and when my subjects moved, I would get into position. Here is Tony Moniz on the first one. Check out this classic Backdoor style.
Then Joshua would ride a wave and he would have the exact same style as his Dad. Look above and see the resemblance.
Seth was always the tube master from a young age. He was really good at finding the barrel. Or maybe because I would always yell “PULL IN!!!” Haha. Seth’s probably one of the youngest kids that ever surfed Backdoor.
Gosh, I miss being able to play around with the kids like this. Time sure flies…
