i still can’t believe how good the waves were on the final day. i haven’t shoot surfing photos in a while so i’m glad i didn’t miss this opportunity.
Taichi Wakita good style, good technique, and good boy.
Bam!
this is ASP World Champion Carissa Moore’s younger sister. power turn!
super stoked to see Dexter Shimabukuro getting 2nd place! always a very stylish surfer. we grew up surfing together at sandy beach in the 1980’s.
nobody surfs Bowls as much as local surfer Makana. he’s out there every single day no matter what size and conditions. a super cool guy and a super awesome surfer.
and with all that local knowledge, i’m not surprised at all that he won his division. local knowledge pays off.
