North Shore Surfing Part 2 - Images by Travis Rowan>
Despite the continuous rain there were still plenty of nice waves around the North Shore today. I first drove around looking for a nice lineup shot and ended up at Rockpiles. I grabbed a few photos incorporating the warning flags and perfect A-frame peaks rolling in. With an 80-200mm lens I shot the rock piles themselves as a foreground for the nice barrel ride that went on beyond them. It's always good to incorporate the location in the surf image because the locations are part of the surfing lifestyle. Exotic travel, beautiful places, adventure etc. The full cloud cover left the light very diffused which I tend to like. The cool softness works well with the deep moods of the Pacific.
Familiar faces are every where on the North Shore this time of year. Matt Archbold and Danny Fuller were having a look at Rockpiles. Daniel Jones, Steph Gilmore and a Hawaiian Monk Seal at Rocky Point. Mick Fanning, Taylor Knox, Dustin Barca at Backdoor to name a few. It's tough to identify everyone accurately during these free surf sessions so feel free to help out in the comments. I hate to have a bunch of unidentified guys in here. They deserve the recognition.
