Wednesday morning we charged it early to get some good light with the rising swell hitting our coast. Meeting up with Cheyne Cottrell, his buddy Will Tant, Matt Oberman, Wesley Desouza, and Tahitian Hira Teriinatoofa, we caught the quick swell window. On the beach it was about 40 degrees, which was not exactly was I am used to. It was a beutiful day! All images copyright © 2009 Ben Hicks
Nov 21 Jupiter
The swell was still in the water and so was the push to get some shots. Matt and I have been about 0 for 10 and it was about time we got two solid days of shooting in. Headed up with Cheyene mid-morning with the call being Jupiter area. All the boys were there, packed together, taking off one after another. Not nearly as good as the day before but still good conditions to shoot in.
Nov 20 Palm Beach
Last week a few of the stars aligned and South Florida actually got good. I headed up to search with Wes and Matt, meeting up with rest of the state of south fl to find some prestine conditions to shoot in. I really wanted to shoot water but the currents just weren’t right. Two sessions throughout the day provided for some great shots not to mention shooting some of the best in Florida. Here are a bunch and please no stealing the images with out contacting me first. Thanks!
