Clean Vs Chop. / by Nathaniel Harrington

Post could also be titled Morning Vs Evening... But I'll save that for another day. 

Here's two barrels that I had open on my desktop from recent shoots. The first is from a few weeks ago in the morning, and the second is from a beautiful sunset this evening. 

Which is better? 

Morning Glass with some off shore winds and a touch of backwash. This wave if near perfect. 

Pounding on shore winds with senseless surf pushing in, a ridiculously awesome flare that somehow barreled, and a beautiful sunset. 

Gotta love the uniqueness of surf. 

Thanks for checkin in!
