ECSC 2009 Days 3 and 4

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.

Click on an image below to view that gallery.

AUGUST 24TH 2008 – ECSC FINAL DAY – 1st St Virginia Beach

Ok, I shot waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many photos so they are broken down into 5 different galleries and seperated them by the time on the images, with the exception of the Pro Finals and the Life Rolls On Expression Session shots which are in their own gallery…my camera is off by an hour but I’m pretty sure everything is in order. 

I was shooting from the south beach (jetty area) most of the morning, but I was able to get some shots of some of the North Beach action, and even managed to get some shots of the award presentations.

To view the galleries click on the images below for the specific galleries that you wish to view.

August 23rd – ECSC 2008

First up are the SUPER GROMS.  I tried to get as many of them as I could but it’s just not possible.  I haven’t looked at any of the images yet so there’s a good chance some our out of focus or over/under exposed…sorry, I just wanted to get them up a.s.a.p.

August 23rd 2008 ECSC ‘non-super grom’ photos…again, I haven’t even looked at them so some are probably out of focus and many are probably not exposed correctly, because editting takes time and I didn’t bring any sunscreen with me today…’you figure it out’

AUGUST 26TH 2007 ECSC FINALS

I spent most of the day trying to shoot the pro heats on the south beach, with an occasional shot of the am’s on the north beach. Another long hot day in the sun, until the thunderstorm threat delayed the finals for about an hour or so. 

I was most impressed with Phillip Goold making the finals in the semi pro and semi finals in the pro division, the kid is pure class, and given some better surf, or set waves,  in the semi’s and finals could have easily taken both divisions. Another surfer who was putting on an amazing show was Jadson Andre who came in 2nd in the men’s pro final. After being called for interference in the semi’s and still taking 2nd to advance he was on fire. In my opinion Andre lost because winner Aaron Cormican beat him mentally by taking him off his game, he could have easily won it all and I believe Cormican knew this and used his experience to his advantage.

AUGUST 25TH 2007 ECSC

I don’t know why I even bother showing up in the morning, the pictures always blow due to the light and my inability to get in focus. I did wear a hat today so my head isn’t feeling like a torch.  Anyway I shot all day, there are two seperate, the ECSC gallery and the ECSC SUPER GROM gallery.

to see the regular ECSC gallery click on the photo of Macon below
