Barrels

Tunnel Vision /  by Nathaniel Harrington

Here's some fun shots from last Friday.

I went out early that morning hoping to find some surf able swell, but instead I came across a little sand bar doing its thing. 

Enjoy, 

Thick Barrel. 

Looking down the line into the light. 

A little backwash sea spray. 

I love this one! Just how the center peak is on focus makes this image stand out for me. 

A perfect pitch. 

I was really trying to get the shots of the back of the barrel. The way the light was forming inside these tubes was amazing! I'm glad I have the chance to share this with everyone! 

A nice reflection shot with a shallow depth of field. 

I've said it before, Vero Beach is an amazing place to capture wave art! I love it here. I hope we all can enjoy these views and the time we get to spend on our beaches! Have a blast out there!

Friendly Welcome into Thursday. /  by Nathaniel Harrington

I wasn't really expecting the conditions to be as good as they were when I woke up at 5:30 this morning... But first light over the Ocean once again proves that Florida can be an amazing spot for near perfect surfing conditions. 

So amped on the day, and its only half-over. Enjoy your Thursday!

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,

Friday Morning. /  by Nathaniel Harrington

Good Morning! 

I have a fun post for you here! Last Friday was one of those winter mornings that make me really appreciate Vero Beach. My pre-sunrise swim with some very good looking Barrels. 

Have a look at what I was able to capture last week. 

 

For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar-- the LORD Almighty is his name. -Isaiah 51:15

 

I'm so thankful for the beauty we have within our daily reach. We live in an amazing place. 

thanks for checking in!

Saturday Shore Shots. /  by Nathaniel Harrington

Saturday's are the best day of the week. I get to spend them with my lil girl River Lee all day cause Tatum is off at work. It's a great opportunity for me to take River to the beach and hang out, shoot some photos from shore, and one day teach that girl how to surf. Until I can get in the water with River I will continue to look to her angle finding skills for all my shore shots. :) It's a perfect plan. 

This past Saturday we were at Sebastian Inlet where we took some photos of Matt Kechele and Nate Gallagher. The surf was a bit wonky, but the guys made the most of it. 

Yah, pre-surf game is strong.

Matt Kechele finishes off his cutbacks with such ease and style, you can see the level of experience he has in even the smallest of surf. 

Kechele, more of that perfect form.

I was shooting with a B&W polarizer, its only fair that I edit one image to be B&W. Nate frontside hack. 

Strong backhand from Kechele.

River was having a blast at the beach, but there were a few moments when I looked at her and thought that she had become part of the beach. The endless exploring, a million sea shells, and a sandy lunch can leave a lasting impression on a kiddo. I hope she always loves the beach like her mom and I do. :) She looks the part no? 

Trevor Gallagher cruised out with Nathan and brought his drone. I'm curious to see of he got any shots... Seeing him play with this almost convinced to to dabble into video.. Thats kinda a big deal. 

One last look as we left the beach. The fun never ends. 

I hope every weekend is as good as this last weekend. Thanks to my daughter for helping me out with those angles, and thanks to the guys for the great surfing. 

Mahalo, 

-Nathaniel Harrington & River Lee
