As many of my UHH friends know, I LOVE to photograph surfers and also the lifestyle that surrounds the beach and the surfers. I've been looking through thousands of my archive photos and have chosen some hand picked ones that I believe you will enjoy. Since I have so many and the UHH admin has a limit of 10 photos per submission I will submit several "chapters" of these photos. These are all from my "Huntington Beach, CA" archives. If you like these, keep coming back and there will be more to check out in the future. I hope you enjoy them!
This particular chapter has a focus of the Vans surfing contest with the best surfers in the world competing.
Of course, all the photos look best in download mode!
Here are the previous seven chapters:

You continue to demonstrate your ability to curate surf shots with other shots that together pull together the beach experience, Brent!

Any idea what all that stuff is in #4? I recognize a remote but no clue about the lens or other add-ons.

Mike, for these recent photos of the Vans surf contest, I kind of wanted to be like a photo journalist and capture a little of the flavor of the event. Thanks for the kind words Mike.

I have no idea but I could give you a guess.........my guess is that he is doing videos of the contest and all those add ons might have something to do with the video gear in and on his camera. Just a guess!
I do know something about the Raceface logo......it's a company that produces gears for mountain bikes. I have no idea if that has anything to do with the equipment or the photographer just had some stickers that he thought would be cool to set his gear apart from everyone elses?!?!?

Another stellar series, Brent. Seeing #4 reminds me that I'd love to see a photo of the gear you're using to capture your awesome photos.

Excellent shots Brent!

Can't be! Every time I think that your surfing shots couldn't get any better, you prove me wrong. So the question is: if you get such up-close-and-personal images with your Tamron 150-600, then what in heck is the guy in image #4 using and how jealous of you is he?
