One of the finest 30 minutes you can spend - from my friend Hugh Gentry and KITV.

You can’t protect what you dont understand and the greatest danger is staying tied to the dock. Raise your sails.

Just came across my image of Johnny Boy Gomes in a New York Times piece on Christian Surfers in Costa Rica. Spoiler alert, not even the correct hemisphere… oh well the article seemed to draw a lot of hate anyway so no love lost. Get barreled everybody, wherever you are. Peace.

Just a quick introduction for my new BlueSky friends. I was a Senior Staff Photographer for SURFER Magazine for 20 years. (You know, the old one, that was like gospel to surfers.) I've lived among the greatest watermen and women in the world on the North Shore of O'ahu for 36 years. Lots to share.

Today I left the Meta-mare. I’m hoping all 10,000 of my Instagram followers migrate here. If you have, thank you. Here’s a pet shark to show it is possible for us all to get along whatever we look like.
