For me Peter Mel was the standout of the swell. This was not one of his crazy big tubes, but I love how relaxed he is and how the wave split the frame. Peter you were inspirational to watch that day. Photo: Seth de Roulet
Part of being a surf photographer in the modern age is being willing and able to leave on a moment’s notice. This spring I had a two-month stretch where I could not catch my breath. Puerto Rico with Josie Graves, Rob Brown and Jordan Heaselgrave. Then Fiji with Andrew Bennett and Gade. That was followed by Tahiti with Tuhiti Haumani and Andrew Bennett and then straight back to Tahiti for the MASSIVE tow swell in May. Over that two-month stretch, I saw more waves barrel and spit than I ever thought possible. The following is a quick glimpse from those four trips. I want to thank Sundance Beach for their support and for putting me with the best surfers in the best barrels in the world.
