Portrait of a Waterman
Undeniably the best part of working on “Come Hell or High Water” was meeting the underground legends and true watermen of Oahu.

Open Your Eyes
The best thing about bodysurfing in warm clear water is swimming through the air pockets.

2011 San Francisco Bodysurf Classic
San Francisco book signing is tonight!….Back in 2011 we were screening the film up and down the coast and Danny Hess put together a semi-spontaneous bodysurf contest at Ocean Beach the day following our S.F. screening. The torpedo people came out of the woodwork.
2011 Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic
Day two of “The Plight of the Torpedo People” book signing tour. Portland, OR.
During the filming of “Come Hell or High Water” we were in Hawaii for the 2011 Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic. The venue served as a perfect opportunity to get some interviews with some of the most dedicated bodysurfers around. Here are a few frames I was able to capture between interviews.

Torpedo People
“The Plight of the Torpedo People” book signing tour begins today at Patagonia Seattle. During each leg of the tour I thought I’d post a few photos I took during the filming of “Come Hell or High Water”.
During my three weeks of filming in Hawaii we only took one day off. That said, Keith and I had a ritual of first light or post sunset bodysurfs to keep our minds and bodies refreshed.
Our good friends just had a baby girl…Nothing necessitates film more than a newborn. Pentax MX, 50mm f/1.4, Ilford HP5
