Three generations of the Ho family, Rocky Point. I can’t think of any family that represents the aloha spirit of the North Shore better than Michael, Derek, Mason, and Coco Ho. I was fortunate enough to get to attend a family BBQ for Michael’s mom’s birthday. It was a true honor getting to eat, drink, and take pictures with a family that has a World Champion, a Pipe Masters winner, and two of the most exciting surfers from Hawaii’s next generation.

Editor’s Note: #SolidHumans is a brand new series featuring priceless portraits and anecdotes of inspiring individuals we know and love in the surf and ocean community.
Raised in Santa Barbara, California and based in New York City, I specialize in advertising, portrait, and lifestyle reportage of artists, athletes, and musicians. Over the course of my career, I have been fortunate enough to have had exceptional access to the private lives of many of today’s top personalities. However, I’ve taken a particular interest in documenting intimate moments of the insular world of the North Shore of O’ahu. Here are a few priceless moments captured last winter on the North Shore.
