I unexpectedly ended up at the Nike US Open of Surfing today, at Huntington Beach. It was super fun. And also my first time ever shooting surfing! I’d be a lot more immersed in the culture if I had moved to NZ in 2010 as planned, instead of rotting away in northern England.

 

Huntington Beach is world-famous for its surf. And the US Open is famous for the amazing surfers who come from all around the world to compete. A winning combination.

 

These guys do things that I can’t even imagine is possible on a surf board. It doesn’t always go to plan! I’m heading back tomorrow, so look out for another post!
