5 months to shoot this wave. Woke up 4:30am every morning to get the holy grail shot (sunrise in barrel shot) I was so frustrated because for months I would wake up and never get the shot. Finally got it here. Image: Croman

Same day as above, just before I walked into the surf. Image: Croman

Keiki Beach (North Shore) about 1 month ago. Biggest shore break I ever shot. Double overhead (no lie) shorebreaks. 12-15 foot monsters, people were watching me like I was on crack for being out there. Unfortunately this wave doesn't show how big it was, I later got slammed and ruined my camera (again) in the big surf. Image: Croman

Yokohama green monster shorebreak. The next day I came back because the waves were epic, got so excited I didn't tighten my housing and leaked. Ruined my camera and lens, over $3,000 in damages not covered. Image: Croman

Shot this in Hilo at Kalapana Hilo a few years ago. I snuck in the park at 3am, after walking on the lava rocks, my shoes were literally melted. Image: Croman

A rainy and cloudy day at North Shore, the waves were HUGE. Over 1,000 shots taken, only got this shot. Image: Croman

One of the best surf days of my life. Kihei, Maui at Big Beach. A perfect 6-8ft swell hit, I left work early to shoot. Later I bodysurfed with my friend with no crowds. Perfect, perfect, glassy day. Epic in every way possible. Image: Croman

Ass of the wave. Image: Croman

Kenji Croman was born in Hawaii. He was uprooted at a young age and has grown to reflect upon his life visually through images from photographs. Kenji quickly discovered his passion for capturing the beauty of the world through his camera. His art is his photography.
Kenji has had the opportunity of traveling throughout the world – overflowing with deep meditation. In his travels, he spiritually envelops his senses to encapsulate the landscapes, cultures, tastes, smells, and people. In 2009, he was fortunate enough to live in South East Asia to focus on photography full-time. During this time, he focused on his own unique style as a photographer and artist. He is invariably moved by the people and energy of the land he visits.
