Spent September 12th and 13th shooting this Longboard (and shortboard for open competitors) Contest. I didn’t get to meet Gary Busey but overall had a great time. Email me if you have any questions wrightcoast@cox.net.
Since there are so many shots I’ve decided to post them basically they way they came out of the camera, no editting, just to get them up. Follow the links below to see the galleries

Thank God for the Ocean Potion that smells like Fruity Pebbles!!! 23 hours in the sun and no burn!
Below you will find the links to the galleries for the 2009 ECSC photos. There are two galleries for August 29th and one from August 30th . I haven’t even looked at all of these, so I’m sure there are some that are out of focus or worse…In order to get these up as quickly as possible, I did some quick batch editting. Any prints that are ordered will be editted correctly. SUPERGROM AND LIFE ROLLS ON PHOTOS ARE NOW UP….gotta take Mom to Dinner for her Birthday.

Finally…after fighting all night with my router and then website, I give you August 26 , 2009′s Shadowlawn Surf Club Photos. Please know that I’m aware some people are having problems with the galleries not resizing correctly when you click on a thumbnail. If you do click on a smaller image and the page appears to go blank, look at the bottom and left sides of your web browser, if you see scroll bars that means the page is there, it’s just too big for your screen, scroll halfway to the right and halfway down and the larger images should be in the center. Sorry for this inconvenience, but I’m an idiot and can not figure out why this is happening…
anyway, click on the image below to view the photos from August 26th

Again, due to the amount of images, I couldn’t possibly edit each individual shot for this site. I will edit anything that is ordered.
I headed down south for the first time in months , ran into Cookie and Jr. before heading to Hatteras with Jeff Myers and met up with Mickey. Plenty of shots in this gallery including Jeff Myers, Zack Kenny, Chris Macdonald, Kim Diggs, Barry Price Sr, and Jr, Ryan Rhodes, Mike Zeiner, Jessie Hines, Noah Snyder, Raven Lundy, Lucas Rogers , Matt Lusk about to fall asleep on the beach and more…. (make sure to check out Matt Lusk’s website for what I’m sure will be some nice water shots www.mattluskphotography.com)

First let me start by saying I FEEL LIKE CRAP! … but it could be worse, as a matter of fact it will be on Monday because the swell is supposed to be peaking on Monday/Tuesday while I’m flying from San Juan to Charleston West Va during a possible storm…couldn’t wait a week to get sick ya know.
