Swine Flu

Last sunday I found myself getting off a plane in Mexico City and being handed a pamphlet about this "Swine Flu" pandemic. I was on my way back from a 5 day Peru mission. As for now, I'm feeling good and don't think any of those little buggers got in me. Here's a shot of me working on the shots from the trip.

COVER

This months issue of Surfer Magazine has a photo I took of Greg Long earlier this year on the cover! It's one of those "If I told you I would have to kill you sort of places" so don't get any ideas as to where this wave is, because these lips are sealed!hahaha. Inside the issue also has a couple spreads too!

Billabong XXL 2009

I just wanted to say a HUGE congratulations to my friends Derek, Greg, and Twiggy for taking home the big W at the XXL awards last night! Derek won the Monster Paddle in of the year only 6 months after breaking his leg surfing in Tavarua. Greg rented a party bus to take us all up there and the good times only got better. Here are a few shots from the night...

Back home after 5 weeks

I am back home in San Diego from a 5 week trip to the southern regions of our world. We started on a 2 week camping/wilderness trip that will be featured in an upcoming Surfer Magazine issue and than flew into an incredible 3 weeks of waves on the Goldcoast of Australia. It's 4am and I've barely slept for the past 4 days...Jetlag and traveling has kept me up. Here's a few photos from my trip and will put a few more up once I get some sleep..
