Here are some wave shots. Teahupoo, Tahiti. This wave wraps up onto a shallow reef about 3 feet underwater and forms a below sea level breaking wave.

Fighting a huge wave and operating a camera? Man, sign that guy up. Sign him up for what? For what I have no idea.

I caught two bums in San Diego trying to walk off with my dog. My uncle said he never saw one person take out two people that quick before, he said it looked like a bowling ball hitting two pins.

San Diego bums. Lots of them, but they are wimps! ;)

Whoa! Magnificent.

Opposing currents? One off the reef into the prevailing swell?
