Mick Fanning wins his second World Title!

Mick Fanning has just won his second World Title at Pipeline. I've been watching the webcast all day. The event is still going on. Round 4 has just started. Unfortunately, I don't have any new shots of Mick this year so I picked a few from the archives.

Here's Mick Fanning famously focused before his heat at the Boost Mobile Pro 2008.

Archive search: Afternoon Bol

Not much going on for me right now on the surf photography front. Not until they get a wave pool in Tennessee anyway...so I'm searching my archives for some unseen gems.

The above shot is of one of my favorite Balinese surfers "Bol". Always stylish. I shot this one back in August on a perfect afternoon in Bali.

Who is J.O.B? : Jamie O'Brien's new movie

Here's a shot of Jamie O'Brien bailing out of a switch-foot attempt during the Rip Curl Cup at Padang in Bali.

His new movie, Who is JOB? looks incredible. Check out the trailer below.

Indo dreaming

I've been back in the states now for about two months. Winter is almost here or at least it feels like it. So here's a little vision from Bingin in Bali to warm me up a bit. Can't wait to get back there...

In the crowded lineup, this surfer found an escape route. Bali.

Balinese Surfer: Rahtu Suargita

Rahtu Suargita takes a peak at the heaving barrels of Padang Padang in Bali following his session. Below is Rahtu turning it on in Kuta.

Tricky Water-Padang and low tide

This unusual view of Padang Padang in Bali was made during a large swell and very low tide. Of course, it's not as bad as it looks. There were plenty of surfers and photogs out in the line up. From this angle though, it's not very inviting.

Kelly Slater: Icon

This is one of my favorite shots of Kelly Slater. I shot this at the 2008 Boost Mobile Pro and Trestles. Slater won that one on his way to his Ninth World Title.
