This last weekend I took the family to the Rell Sunn Menehune contest at Makaha on the west side of Oahu. We had an incredible time and saw some amazing surfers. The contest was for kids from 4 to 12, it was crazy to see these kids charge waves that were at lest twice their height. I really love being a surf/ water photographer, during the contest I was able to be in the water with the kids and shoot them up close, I also got a few shots from the beach with my telephoto lens. A big congratulations to Jordan, she got 5th place in her age division, that is a huge accomplishment for how big the waves were that she had to surf. She is in the seventh picture down.
Beautiful shots Mark! Looks like you guys had tons of fun. So bummed we had to leave early. But good on Kamalei-man that shot you got of her is crazy and the water is just beautiful. Thanks for posting these Mark. We’ll see you soon.
I’m dying to get me some of those underwater portraits…some day!
what a fun session!!! awesome comp and great catches!
