GREY, THE NEW COLOR
Scored an epic day in Long Beach, New York on the 22nd of April; It unfortunately didn’t come with any sun. When it’s overcast windy and heavy not many people throw their 5/6 mm wetsuit on and come out for a photo session in 50 degree water temperatures. Luckily I can always count on my Buddy Neal to charge for awesome photos.
All the photos are grey today but I bet they still get your blood pumping for surf. Broke this post into my favorite sequences and left a bunch a single shots for the end. Aloha
I’m really a fan of this angle, it usually leaves me totally exposed to get hit in the lip with the wave but I can’t wait till one day when the wave chandeliers over my head and I get a backdoor barrel shot.
Same angle as last but I was a little too inside and the wave didn’t really open up, Neal really threaded the needle though and busted threw the backdoor on this one.
Here are just a few single shots that I really liked

Stunning photos even though the main color is gray!

Thanks, the muted browns and tans in the unedited photos I felt were a distraction from the surfing. The waves actually popped more when I switched it too B and W

The starkness, arty tones of the B&W are startling because I can’t recall ever seeing black and white surfing photos since those of the Duke. Cool shots.

Gray is actually one of the most calming and beautiful colours! Those are some really neat photos you have there!
