7th Annual Reef Sweetwater PRO AM 2011 | Oceanic Street, Wrightsville Beach, NC

29 Jul 2011•Sports

July 15th-17th kicked off this years 7th Annual Reef Sweetwater Pro Am at Oceanic Street along the shores of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. In its 7th year, the Reef Sweetwater Pro Am attracts thousands of spectators, surfers and professional athletes from around the globe, flocking to the North Carolina Coast for a weekend of fun in the sun. Once again this year, we were blessed with a stomach to chest high swell that stuck around all weekend, providing ample conditions for competitors to compete towards the $20,000 prize purse. I shot the majority of the contest on friday, saturday, and sunday, through all divisions: Pro, Junior, Longboard, Womens, and guppies. I’ve put together two slideshows of the event. The first one is of the finals on Sunday July 17th. Finalists include Phillip Goold, Aaron Cormican, Fisher Heverly and Rob Machado. The second slideshow is a compilation of competition highlights throughout the three day festival. Enjoy!

Not gonna post the whole batch cause they’re not that great. I didn’t get out there until late thursday night, so the the sun was already hiding, therefore the shots are a little on the grainy side. But just to show the size.

Hurricane Earl Swell – Masonboro Island, NC

2 Sep 2010•Sports

Went over to Masonboro Island on Wednesday night, August 01, 2010 to catch the first signs of swell from Hurricane Earl. The wind wasn’t cooperating as much as we had hoped, but there were definitely some bombs coming through. I stayed out shooting photos well past sunset, so you will notice a loss of quality towards the end of the gallery. Click on the post title above to view the whole batch.

Hurricane Bill Swell

24 Aug 2009•Sports

I was basically out all day shooting photo saturday. The swell came in pretty nice. I was out at CB for the morning and headed down to WB in the afternoon. Its sad that I can have as much fun shooting photos as being in the water. A pretty epic storm rolled in during the evening at Wrightsville, and luckily I had a plastic bag with me, because the bottom fell out just as I was about to head in. The photos of the storm can be found at the end of the slideshow. I’ve noticed that the quality of the photos are decreased in the slideshow for some reason, but there is 79 altogether. 1-34 are from Carolina Beach, and 35-79 are from Wrightsville. I lucked out at WB, Ben Bourgeois and friends were out there shredding at the jetty, so I got a lot of him, showing why he is one of Wrightsvilles most famed pros. Enjoy the photos!
