Peahi is a place on the North Shore of Maui with one of the world’s most revered waves. This wave has had a special place in my heart since the first time I surfed it back in 1993. From that moment on my friends and I were dedicated to pursuing, and surfing it in all its many different forms

There is a girl who dances to her own beat. Her creativity is only eclipsed by her sweet and humble demeanor. Her thoughtful and giving self. To see her move through life with her sights squarely set on the present is like oxygen for my soul. Her name is Lisa.

Maalaea is one of the worlds most elusive waves. It takes a very narrow combination of swell direction, wind condition, and tide to turn this wave into one of the wonders of the surf world. It’s fast and hollow and there are a band of surfers who are dedicated to tracking storms that will light up this reef. On this day the surf was absolutely firing but the winds were strong and unrelenting. One surfer paddled out and found a few diamonds in the rough.

In the Eighties I took my first trip to Fiji on the word from some friends that there was a little island surrounded by great surf with no one around. The only thing was that this little island was uninhabited and that a boat was needed to get to it from wherever you were staying. We ended up staying on island nearby and everyday we passed by this point on the way to surf.

I have a fascination with palm trees that borders on obsession. My photo collection of palm trees from around the world is numbered in the thousands. Palm trees are the lifeblood for many tropical communities. Every part of the tree contributes to sustaining life whether it’s nourishment, shelter, utility, or clothing, the palm plant delivers. But beyond all of its uses the palm tree is the quintessential icon of the island nations. And Hawaii has some of the finest.

I’ve always been interested in the early photographs of Hawaii. Especially the portraits taken in the studios of Honolulu at the turn of the century. Many of the photos were taken against a painted backdrop of a scene that was meant to depict the Hawaiian Islands in a classic sense. Despite the sometimes awkward setting, the pride of the Hawaiian people was unmistakable.

This was a special project for me. I was invited to participate in the 20th annual Legends of Surfing event to raise funds for the Moore’s Cancer Center research. I was asked to create the imagery for the promotional material as well as put something into the auction. I created a piece called Surfvive that reminds us how lucky we are to live this surfing life.

On a surf trip to Peru I stayed with the Siskar family. They had this little left point break in front of their house that was a short paddle away. I sat and watched Gary and Johanna catch wave after wave, pulling off moves like this all morning.
