Staring at Waves

I’ve always loved staring at waves.

    Light among Darkness. This is by far the most dangerous slab I've ever seen. Inches of water meet loads of water and a sharp reef as a bird quietly flies by, untouched. Photo: Lucas Gomes

    Frozen. The queen of slabs awakens, and I am blessed to be able to witness all of its power and grace. Photo: Lucas Gomes

    Balance. The ocean never ceases to amaze me. I search to capture the movement of water over shallow reef. Photo: Lucas Gomes

    Intergalactic. This shot happened when I was trying a different angle at one of our secret beaches in Rio. The water spots created a "sky full of stars" effect in this B&W beauty. Photo: Lucas Gomes

I’ve always loved staring at waves. With the wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro as a good place to both photograph and ride waves, I’m never at a loss to surround myself in something I’m passionate about. As a professional skimboarder, a surfer, and a bodyboarder, I’m always in or around the water, looking for the best waves around the world, either to ride or to frame.
