Winter Solstice. by Nathaniel Harrington

Continuing on with the Winter stoke. Yesterday marked the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. We took full advantage of what daylight we had and got some work done at Sebastian Inlet.  

Joined by the SunBum A Team, yesterday would have been a great day to sit on the beach and watch the action unfold. No worries if you missed it, I captured as much as I could and am stoked to share it with you now. 

Two of New Smyrna's favorite kids, Bobby Levy and Matthew Glenn. 

Shenanigans. 

Chauncey Robinson. 

Bobby and I have a tendency to get this shot each time we shoot. Close is good. 

Matthew Glenn going vertical on his backhand. Classic inlet view. 

Yesterday had a few solid moments on the sand bar, keep looking... 

Matthew Glenn has a stylish approach in the air. 

Its good to see Wiley Robinson getting back in form. He was out for the summer due to a pretty bad broken leg, looks like he'll make a nice recovery in the next few weeks. 

I was amped to see Brock Taylor push his air game a little yesterday, finally got a few shots of him up there. 

Sand Bar goodies. 

Chauncey Robinson maintaining control of first peak.

Wiley Robinson. 

After Wiley threw this air rotator he paddled back out past me saying he's not yet ready to try to land these, but i'm sure it felt good to have a go at them again! 

Brock Taylor had his Air game on yesterday! 

Bobby.

Bobby Levy. 

If there's surf, you're sure to see David Speir out there. I'm pretty stoked on this angle, it really shows how steep first peak can be. 

And of course Blake Speir is not going to let dad surf alone, he'll be in the barrels as much as his pops. 

One more for David Speir. 

Where style meets water, Matthew Glenn. 

Bobby getting nice and vertical! 

Matthew Glenn. 

Not sure who this is, but he sure took the high line on this wave. 

Bobby Levy was searching for this barrel all day. stoked we linked up with at least one! 

More sand bar action. 

Blake Speir. 

Blake. 

New rule of thirds with the Chaun. 

I gotta end this off with the most stoked from out there, Chauncey Robinson, da guy. 

Fun times. 

So amped to see the Ocean waken and give gifts like this! Looks like we should have some really fun days ahead. Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for stopping in at my blog!

Finding Gold. by Nathaniel Harrington

Finally got a decent swell again at the Inlet. This morning had a few really good moments! 

Check these guys out. 

David Speir paddled out and his first wave scored a 10 point ride. 

Chauncey Robinson was all about the green room this morning. If it was big and steep he was all over it. 

Super fun session! 

Thanks for checking in,

Hellooo Weekend. by Nathaniel Harrington

After a week of work there is nothing like a Saturday morning and pitching surf. The winds turned over night, cleaned it up, and gave us glory all day long! 

I shot all these images at Sebastian Inlet, Florida. The storms offshore really made the colors amazing! It was my first time being in the water at Sebastian so there was some getting used to it... all around though I think it was pretty successful and I can't wait for the chance to go there again. The East Coast keeps delivering.  

Peaky, clean, and size-able surf. 

Ryan Reineke with high speed carves. 

Vero Beach local, Terry Thompson getting some cover. 

Ryan Reineke scored this perfect A-Frame right in front of me.. couldn't be more stoked. 

I got to see a piece of Ryan's mean backside capabilities. This was a dropping, bottom turn, to a powerful, vertical snap. 

David Speir gettin loose! Huge Tail blow. I'm really amped on the backlighting! 

Gahhh. 

Here's another of David. If the backwash looked like it was going to connect right and barrel, he was on it! I'm sure its been said before but this guy knows Sebastian Inlet well.

I'll close this post with an awesome shot of Ryan tucking into this little barrel. 

Shoots, that was a great morning. I hope you enjoyed the shots! I'll post two more previews to the morning in a couple days... I gotta send them out to a couple editors first ;) 

I am new to the area and don't know many folks around here yet. If you are interested in some surf photography please feel free to contact me at natehphoto@gmail.com. Also, if you know anyone who would be interested in seeing these shots please share! 

Thanks for checking in and Aloha friends.
