Hawaiian Grommet Patrol!!!

290

good evening. went to shoot the groms this morning at kaisers. it was sunny, fun, and perfect for a photo shoot. shooting the groms is super easy because they do all the work. i just shoot…

this is noah mizuno. half japanese/half hawaiian. a good kid with a great future. of all the kids today, i got the best photo of noah doing a sick layback snap on the left. magazine quality….

every time i go shoot seth, i get at least 1 cover shot photo of him. photos like this i throw away. now you see it, tomorrow you won’t….

want power? watch josh moniz. this kid is riding boards i ride already and throwing more spray than me. in his first heat in the rip curl grom contest, i seen him do 2 power turns followed by a 360 air reverse. i think he got a 9.5….

imai kalani davault is from maui. another top hawaiian grom!

if you were to ask any pro surfer or coach what a perfect bottom turn is, this is it!!! by shun coming to hawaii 2x a year, his surfing is becoming hawaiian style. strong and powerful!!

alyssa wooten was shooting with another photographer at bowls, then paddled over to kaisers to shoot with me. normal surfers won’t do that. but alyssa isn’t a normal surfer. she has dreams and knows what she has to do to get there. good job alyssa. did you see yourself on the news tonight? guy hagi used a photo i took of you. try to catch it on the 10 pm news. good job today!!!

and last, i was coming in and saw something that caught my eye. i would love to try this too!!! gosh, i want to do everything but i don’t have enough time!! and money. haha….
wanted to thank guy hagi for running the shots of the boys. more photos tomorrow…
