There hasn't been a shortage of waves in San Diego lately. Here are some photos from back to back sessions at Black's last week.

SESSIONS: BLACK'S BEACH.

Black's Beach in autumn is pretty unreal. The water is still warm and the waves finally start picking up on a consistent basis. This ended up being the last session I documented before the seasons turned and San Diego got noticeably colder. I'm definitely looking forward to days like this once these storms pass.

San Diego experienced quite the heat wave last week. When it's eighty-degrees before noon, flocking to the beach is the only way to properly cool off. The consistent flurry of waves was another justification for logging so many hours in the water.

Cliff Kapono is the ultimate subject for a surf photographer. His style is fluid and extremely photogenic, which makes for some great imagery regardless of the conditions. I shot these photos of Cliff during a late afternoon session last winter.
Cliff just finished up an amazing short film for Surfer Magazine + RED Camera's film series, REDirect. Cliff along with his friend and fellow filmmaker, Jensen Young-Sik, created a breathtaking piece that tells an ancient story about the first interaction between Native Hawaiians and Native Americans on the California coast. I highly recommend watching Cliff and Jensen's film, WATU.
