p.1 #1 · Hawaii's Largest South Swell so far...Story Continues

along with some good afternoon light....it was one of those days where the waves would be around head high, and then out of the depths of a South Pacific Storm these Double Overhead Giants would make an appearance.....

Nice,

I was just on Oahu last week when the waves were about the same but there wasn’t any break between sets. They just kept coming and coming and coming.

I tried surfing for the first time myself and would have appreciated a little break between sets to catch my breath. I wasn't out where the bigger breaks were though.

I was there with my family and never made it out to Magic Island to shoot surfing but did shoot a little wake boarding at Sandy Beach.

Where were these take from?

Mike,
Looks like a bunch of south swells pumping out there. I'm sure there is more of your shots to come. I hope to get some time to shoot later this week in San Diego.
I just hope the marine layer and the swell direction is on.
Keep the images coming!
Michael

This 2nd Set is of the '09 Pt. Panic Redwings Memorial Hand Board Contest held every year. Some of the Worlds best Body Surfers show for this event...like Mike Stewart (who won), the girl is an absolute Mermaid, and the last is last years Champion Kai Santos. at this break that bottom is reef not sand and about two feet deep...

I saw that. Not something you see very often in waves of that size.
That's some talent.

Getting sick of surf shots?? Not any time soon especially when they are as good as these.

That SUP guy in the third set really knows how to handle that log he's on.

Michael, I wonder if you are the photographer I stopped and talked to for a few minutes, June 14th I think, on Waikiki while you were shooting some surfing lessons. I wanted to get out and attempt shooting some surfing but realized since I was on vacation the right choice was to take advantage of the time with my family.
I did stop at Sandy Beach a took a few images.

I was cruising on the West side yesterday--looks like I missed some great stuff on the south. Great shots.

nope George, not me and "Surf Lessons", those organizations usually have their own photographer to take care of the "Visitors".

Sandy's looked pretty out of control from your great pics, just confirmed what my friends told me about Sandy's and this last swell....surprised you didn't see a ambulance hauling away another broken neck!
