South Swell at La Perouse!

hey there reef. 

Sketchy, but fun. 

The morning sesh was ultra low tide.. We didn't take that into consideration before the mile hike to get to the brake, but oh well. We tried anyways and got a few good waves until the tide got so low that it was no longer safe to even be out there.. Full moon also brings high tides so we came back for that in the evening and scored.

 Here da pics. 

Ben Raimo smashing backside on ow tide. 

Nice. Thats surf. 

I was here... 

Evening sesh brought us better shape and bigger waves. 

New friend Roque Calderon. 

This guy can surf. 

Almost some barrels out there.. it was trying but the wind was against us. 

Friend zach from FL got brave and tried to tuck in this tuber.. More of a pincher. 

Beautiful! Wow I love the elements. 

Good surf for a sunday!

last month's 35mm.

Brandon Phillips hooked me up with a couple disposable film cameras, the Etnies Step Up. Sadly discontinued, but once a great idea. I think, should be once again. This roll was pretty much a beach camera used in San Clemente, Dana Point, and even a few from a secret spot in Laguna Beach. 

Fun to shoot and shoot with. Even more fun to put into photo albums. I'm backing the Step Up.

It was awesome hanging out with crowds of kids and tossing some stickers and product around! 

Letting the kids know we care and that we would like to see them support a brand that is supporting snowboarding and themselves back! 

Solid week of fun.

Sweet edit of Kyle Leeper in the Rain! such a cool video. Who does this?? rad.

The Etnies TF. Small edit.

My good friend Jordan Smalls killin it!!

Sadly, this TF is no longer... Due to economy and downsizing and all, Etnies had to close down this building. I'm very proud to say that I spent a bit of time in there over the years, and shot some of my favorite photos of friends here. Even lucky enough to have skated it a few times.

I guess when it comes down to it all this means you should support the brands you love. Etnies is still independently owned. Thats saying a lot for these times. If your dreams have anything to do with boardsports I believe it is important to understand that you can't expect to support corporations, and still get the same love from them as you would a real family. Etnies, 32, 'Es, Altamont, and Emerica are all part of a real family(sol tech). Learn about these things and learn to SUPPORT it. Who knows, maybe one day they'll be able to give you a little love back.
