Was stoked to be able to get down to the final day of the womens ASP pro surfing tour New Zealand leg which was held in Taranaki. Spent the day photographing some truly inspirational surfing in the rapidly improving  conditions. Event was won by Hawaiian Carissa Moore (seen in photos 2&3) who donated her entire winnings to a local surfing club that gets kids into surfing! :)

If you’d like to some more photos of this session head on over to My Flickr account.

ASP surfing dream tour new zealand "Chelsea Hedges"

A photo from the epic New Zealand leg of the ASP womens surfing Dream Tour! Chelsea Hedges is pictured ripping down the line. Amazing surfing was on display by all the competitors – especially the 15yr old wildcard Sarah Mason the giantkiller (took out world champ Stephanie Gilmore!) and of course the eventual winner Carissa Moore!

Will post up some more photos I took of the action very soon!

Checking the surf conditions over at New Zealands best surf site I was stoked to find one of my photos had been put into their top 10 of 2008! And according to the text I have now officially achieved the status of a full-on pro-level surf photo taker :)   Though they did lighten it up somewhat from original. What’s your view? Better lighter or darker? (original photo shown below).  Look out for some new improved pics up soon as am now the proud owner of a proper piece of glass 300mm F2.8.
