Another big wave painting. This is a 16x20 painting of of a surfer participating in the, "Back Door Shootout" held at the Pipeline on the north shore of Oahu this past January (2011).
Once again we found ourselves sitting front and center on the beach watching these amazing athletes. There is something so special about the north shore. There's a vibe that you just kinda settle into. Nobody moves too fast and why should they? People just kinda do their thing. The awesome power of the big waves and the vibrant colors of the landscape all add to the ambience. Maybe it's the combination of all of the above that reminds us that we are all merely spectators experiencing nature's "bling." These big wave surfers get to experience it first hand...
This is a short video I took at the infamous, "Pipeline" on the north shore of Oahu. To see these guys take these huge waves was really a thrill. It is just an awesome sight. Back Door Shootout 2011.
