Day 3
Today was the first day I took my camera out to shoot the surf. I decided not to take the water housing and to see the setup of OTW, Backdoor and pipeline. OTW was pumping with some of the best waves I have ever seen. I watched a surfer get a 15 second barrel and fly out the barrel after the spit. The on lookers all cheered and clapped. Was the best barrel I have seen in my life! WOW (WOOOPAAHHHH)
Pipe empty!
I was able to meet some pretty cool guys who all froth on body boarding, Rich Lornie a videographer who has filmed some unreal footage from around the world. Check out his vimeo page. SOOO SICK
Jase Finlay who said he had to make his push bike to be able to ride it, funny enough Sacha Specker had recently posted on Facebook that someone had stolen his bike seat from Pipeline….Coincident…I think not.
The wind was blowing onshore all day today so I decided to go for a snorkel. Got some self portrait shots…..ENJOY
All around the world surfers, photographers, tourists, kamikaze’s and hell men travel to see this natural phenomenon come to fruition. The best time of year to visit these waves are in-between December to March.
The sand, the girls, the waves and the surfers who dare try to tame the beast called Pipe all flock to this wave either to watch it or participate in the raw carnage that it has to offer. See video here!
As I’m lucky enough to travel to this wonderful land I plan on documenting our trip for you all to see. A photo a day is the goal, they will be showcased on my jonwrightphoto.com Facebook page and also here, on my blog.
