With the surf up the North Shore is full of energy. The contest is on and the surf spots are filled with surfers, even the road on Kam Hwy is congested with traffic as everyone is hurrying to get to their destination. We had a day filled with filming Torry Meister and Clay Marzo during their heats at the Reef Pro as well as shooting Dean Morrison in our small garage turned studio. You have to be here to experience it and to fully understand how chaotic this place can be when the surf is up. We had another successful day of getting the job done. Here are some quick pics of our day on Wed.

A lot of prep work goes into each shoot. These are some of the neccesities.

Being behind a camera and all eyes on you can be nerve racking. Sometimes you need to take the edge off. Only when your 21 of course!

Part of Kaona's school was seeing the behind the scene stuff. Kanoa shot the images from Dean behind the scene shoot. Here is his signature to his work. Grade A+ Good job Kanoa!
Clay after his exciting heat win. Clay loves to win but what Clay really loves, is to surf.
In physics, for every positive force there is a negitive force. Clay won and dominated that heat. To Clay this the negative force that was caused by the positive force. Regardless, Mike from Surfline was there hear what Clay had to say about the heat
A long day of schooling can wipe you out. Kanoa lights out!
