Big Wednesday – Waimea Bay

I think everyone knows I love me some Waimea Bay!  Today looks to be pretty good over there and I am really missing it right about now.  I tried to see it on the surfline cam and it is too busy- drats. I tried to call Sean Davey for a report and he didn’t answer (I don’t blame him I would be shooting too)!

This is a shot of Waimea from the water on a ’smallish’ day.  It is real Waimea and not pinballs, but it is not big by any stretch.  What I like is that you can see this is just the top of the wave.  If you look down in the lower right of the photo you can see where the beginning of the bottom of the wave starts!  This guy is in for a steep drop and he doesn’t know it yet.  Most people eat it on the drop and get steam rolled by mounds of white water and get stuffed deep.  That’s why I think making the drop is so rewarding, because you pull off what is often an air drop with your hands over your head and avoid total destruction!

HIRE A SURF PHOTOGRAPHER- This Friday and Saturday look good here in California and I am not hired yet, so let me know if you want me to shoot your session. The usual spots should be pumping including Rincon in the North and Pt. Loma in the South.  Have fun wherever you go and charge!
