Bellingham Skimboarding with DB Skimboards rider Emile Panerio

We were given the task to shoot the second installment of the skimboarding series “In Time / On Time” with DB Skimboards rider Emile Panerio. So we took two days and went to the beach in Bellingham with Emile and shot a plentiful amount of skimboarding video. Here is the final result. The video was officially released in the 2013 April Issue of Flatland Magazine, which you can see here: http://flatlandmag.com/2013/01/#/page/1 The song used in the video is by Beat Connection. Song: Palace Garden, 4 AM | https://soundcloud.com/beatconnexion Here’s a couple photos we took while shooting the video also that also ran in Flatland Magazine.

Joel Parkinson wins the ASP surfing title, Two of our photos at Sunset Beach

Although we were rooting for Kelly Slater to take home his 12th ASP world title congrats to Joel Parkinson on the win. We have been lucky enough to watch Parkinson surf at Sunset Beach in the past. These two photos of ours were taken of Parko at Sunset Beach, in Hawaii. Joel Parkinson won his first ASP World Title last Friday on the final day of the Billabong Pipeline Masters on Oahu’s North Shore when Kelly Slater failed to advance out of his semifinal heat. Parkinson also secured his first Pipe Masters event victory later in the day. A newcomer to surfing’s top spot, Australia’s Parkinson, 31, has four runner-up world title finishes in his 11-year career on tour. The last time he surfed in a title match was also at Pipeline, where he lost to fellow Aussie Mick Fanning in 2009. Though Parkinson had not won a world tour event since early 2011, the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach, he had been deadly consistent this season, making several finals and never finishing worse than ninth place. He had been the points leader for the back half of the season.

State of Grind: Saturday Session

My good friend Chach Law has been trying to get a indoor skate park going in Whatcom County for quite some time and he has continued to make progress. Last Saturday he put on a skate session / pizza party with the help of UnKnown Board shop and Cicchitti’s Pizza. I only stopped by for about 20 minutes to show some support and here’s some images I captured. Next time there is an State of Grind event you can bet the ole 10.5mm fisheye and I will be there.

Pipeline Barrel Sequences (Epic Surf)

Photo-barrell sequences from 20-foot + Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. All the photos were captured and edited together by Matt McDonald. “When I was in high school I would browse the pages of Surfer Magazine mesmerized by the photos of Pipeline in Hawaii. Those images are what inspired me to become a photographer and eventually create this video. That being said watch and enjoy.” – Matt Music by: Flume Song: Sleepless (feat.

I love Hawaii

When you are in Hawaii photo opportunities just appear out of no where in parking lots like this HDR shot in Haleiwa. I have been to Hawaii six times before this trip to Oahu. I have always wanted to do the Waikiki vacation. Where I stay in a nice hotel at the city by the Beach in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Here are some of the photos I captured while there and time-lapse of Waikiki. All the photos of me skimboarding and bodyboarding were shot by my girlfriend Dana Miner. You can see all of the select photos from Matt’s trip to Hawaii: HERE Some of these photos are available for purchase: HERE The above photo is at Lanikai Beach in Kailua one of my favorite beaches due to the white sandy beaches. I literally ran down the beach with my camera to snag this photo of a sea turtle with the 10.5mm fisheye. Naturally I went skimboarding at this beach and here’s one of the photos from the session. Another shot of me skimboarding at Lanikai. I also shot a timelapse while in Wakiki from the balcony of my hotel the Aston Waikiki (which is a hotel […]
