First they kicked out the tourists. I did not leave. Then they kicked out the residents. I did not leave. Then they kicked out the police. I did not leave. Then there was no one left but me. …And it was awesome!
By now we all know Irene wasn’t the storm everyone thought it would be in Jersey. No 6 feet of water, no hundred mile an hour winds, no 15 inches of rain. But for all of what Irene wasn’t, she was one thing – awesome for the people who didn’t flee Ocean City. At 5pm, the police…

Its summer. Its flat. We get bored. To remain sane, we have to entertain ourselves and continue surfing by any means necessary. These facts spurred the 1st Annual Heineken Challenge presented by Andy Carter.
On the flat and steamy days of summer, the Ocean City crew will often just hang on the beach, boards in hand but more there to hangout with friends than actually surf. A Sunday afternoon wouldn’t be complete without a few cold beers, but on this particular day we were fresh out. Andy Carter, renowned lifeguard and shredder, lives just a few blocks from where…

It’s 97 degrees, the waves are knee high, and I’ve shelved my underwear for the next few weeks. This can only mean one thing – Summer is finally here!
Scrot sweat and grovel sessions aside, summer also means one more thing: PARTY TIME! Problem is, where should we party? I’ll tell you where. Someplace excessively warm. A place where the Budweiser flows like wine. Where uber-tanned fake brested women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called Margate. Thats where Waynestock Beachstock was being held this past Saturday.
Beachstock sounds rad –…

Last November, we got one of the last good south swells of the fall before heading into full on 6mil winter conditions. As per usual, Ocean City was decent, but overall mediocre so my brothers and I jumped into our black Murano convoy and aimed north. We ended up settling on our typical spot, about half a mile south of the jetty hopping crowd. Knowing it was one of the last swells before water turns freezing and I’d be flopping my hands around in lobster claws trying to “paddle”, I decided to spend the morning and mid day surfing….

So the new ESM is out now. Amazingly I got the cover shot! Well… I shared the title with 142 other cover shots, but nonetheless my shots are still on the cover.
ESM is celebrating its 20th year, and in honor of that they’ve made a mega collage of all kinds of former covers. From my calculations, its damn near every cover they’ve ever had, but of course I’m stoked to be one of the people that have contributed to the success of that mag, which in turn has lead to success in my own photo career.
Bonus treat,…

For the first time in a long time, I actually got to see a decent wave break in Jersey. Seems like there were decent waves for two days out of the past two and a half months, and both days I had other photoshoot commitments I couldn’t break – much to my dismay. Thankfully I got my priorities in order this week, and managed to make sure I had off on Thursday, knowing there would be good waves, and probably snow on the beach – a sure bet money making combo.
Come Wednesday night, it was clear that Thursday…

First off, it’s pronounced “Bay-Shun”.
People tend to get sentimental around the holidays. We look back on the past year and reflect on both the good and bad. Its human nature to remember the good times as being better than they really were, but in reality there are plenty instances where the good times really were that good. This was the case with a quick trip I took down to Barbados last month.
My brothers, Chris Kelly, and Zack Humphreys and myself all jumped on a flight to go catch a NW shot of swell, hoping we’d score the…

We surfed quite a heavy wave this past weekend swell. I’ll be getting the real action shots out for editorial and ads, but in the mean time, you can preview the best bails we have to offer.

Oh surfboard art.
First there was the late 80′s and early 90′s where it was typical to wait an extra 6 months for a custom board to arrive so the shaper could send it out to have a radical custom airbrush put on. Then came the 1996 where every bad ass surfer would finish watching Wardo in a Lost movie, grab a fat black marker, and go to town on the lower half of the bottom of their board – drawing squiggly lines with no real plan or concept. Through most of the past decade, the trend was to…

As per Jamie’s post, we spent the past week in Cali for the Shop Challenge contest. Leaving firing East Coast, we were greeted in typical Huntington style by inconsistent thigh high surf. The waves didn’t provide much opportunity to shoot action, but luckily I was armed to the teeth, ready for every lifestyle shot. Bonus video will be coming along soon to wrap out or story – just gotta edit it all together.
