Keramas: Jamie O'Brien


I made it out to Keramas last week, timing it with the arrival of good  swell. An hour on the motorbike with a few wrong turns still had me there at about 730am. As expected, this perfect right hander had attracted a crew of the surfing world's heavies. Notably, Jamie O'Brien who sat deeper and waited longer than anybody for the biggest set waves. 

The wind didn't come up until about 1230 so I had a solid 4-5 hours of shooting time before finally embarking on the long, hot, treacherous ride home. Also met Silas Hansen, another photographer there shooting for Kiwi Surf Mag. I enjoyed talking shop with him in between flurries of shutter clicks. more shots of Jamie O'Brien below. (click an image for a large version)
