What an amazing day! Julian Wilson ended up winning the mens final.
Like yesterday, these guys went super hard.
Surfing is such an intense sport. It makes photography way too easy!
Nike also had a skate display on, featuring none other than Eric Koston. What a brilliant event!
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!
