CA Update, Surf is Pumping. / June 28, 2016 by Nathaniel Harrington

Hey guys!

I always mean to post more especially when I'm away on a trip, but usually it ends up with me getting super busy and falling asleep while trying to just edit the photos. Thats definitely been the case this trip. After swimming 3-4 hours multiple times a day in massive surf its been my priority to to rest rather than post.

So CA has had amazing surf, some of the best conditions seen for a lowers surf comp, and novelty breaks have been going off. Its been a photographers paradise and I wanted to share a glimpse of whats been happening.

Secret Spot with Matthew Glenn

San Diego with CT Taylor

Strands with Kevin Schulz.

Woke up to a sunrise and offshores. The swell had dropped a little but it was still super fun and very clean.

Kevin Schuls put in some turns, airs, and barrels.

Breakfast at the Harbor House on a Sunday is a must, especially after such a rad session. The lifestyles just came naturally.

Shoots, it has been awesome! I'm over my head in photos and waiting to get back home before even looking at most of them. I have a few more days out here and I'm looking forward to every second of it.

Thanks for stopping in! And have a wonderful day.

Two weeks in Southern California. / June 19, 2016 by Nathaniel Harrington

hola!

Well its June and that means that most serious u18 surfers will be in southern california this week for the Surfing America Championships. Stoked to say that I am here as well. Its a pretty fun time of the year to shoot at Lowers when all the kids are surfing their brains out.

I've been here for a couple days now shooting and have covered a bit of the Volcom TCT a couple lay days, and am now looking forward to the start of the nationals tomorrow. its going to be an exciting few days as some of the best up comers rip into North America's greatest wave.

Here's a glimpse of what I got so far.

Kolohe Anding putting on a clinic at Lowers, San Clemente, CA.

The groms watching Kolohe rip into a wave, dreams are born here.

Friendly gestures... classic lifestyles. Kolohe and Griffin. — Friendly gestures... classic lifestyles.

Chaunchoo tore into his heats during the Volcom TCT, bummer to see him put out in QF, still a great result earned by hard work.

Playing around in San Clemente.

Chauncey Robinson killing it with the panoramic. Thanks for the pic man.

Donuts are flowing pretty heavily, special thanks to Surfin Donuts for all the fuel.

Only one way to burn off some donuts and that's by surfing.

Matthew Glenn under the cliffs at State.

Tough to see at a first glance but Matthew Glenn is tucked into that barrel, he even sneaked the doggy door.

Evan Brownell throwing it up in a punchy beach break. This North Florida surfer rips.

Back to Lowers and sessions with the groms.

Good to see Blake Spier here and shredding.

Its always fun here, and I'm really looking forward to this week. We have some solid swell in the forecast with the possibilities to really score. I'm hoping some serious work can get done starting at 5:30 am tomorrow.

Keep checking back for more updates as this trip unfolds.

thanks,

Panama with Brock Taylor. / May 18, 2016 by Nathaniel Harrington

This spring I went on a trip with Brock Taylor and my wife Tatum. We headed down south to Panama where we enjoyed a blacksand beach, fish tacos, and some pumping surf.

I created an Adobe Slate to tell the story as well as adding a video edit from the help of Tatum.

Check it out here.

Enjoy and thank you for visiting my website.

NSB on Monday / March 31, 2016 by Nathaniel Harrington

Back in Florida and frothing to shoot.

A bunch of rad groms including Caroline Marks are in town for the NSSA East Coast Championships, so i headed up to NSB to see them and try to get some shots. Surf is small but fun this week, just enough to get some turns in.

Always stoked to shoot with the Glenn's as well, and they are always killing it so it makes it easy. Always a good time with those guys.

So good to see the East Coasts most talented female ripper, Caroline Marks.

Small but fun enough, Daniel Glenn can make the most out of days like this.

Strongest backhand this side of the Mississippi, Caroline Marks always impresses.

Matthew Glenn was trying so hard to find a wedge to link up on with me, and then I almost missed this wave as I was snapping some images of Natalie Glenn, the Glenn's ripping mom! But, Managed to hip shoot this frame and kinda like it.

Caroline's youngest brother Dawson Marks. He's a fire ball and the raddest grom I know.

Its good to see Daniel recovering from an ankle injury. He's definitely getting his air game back on point.

Matthew Glenn hunting down some weggies with me. Stoked to link up so much even in tough conditions. Like I said, they make it easy. Stoked!

Not a bad way to start of a week. Monday's aren't all that bad.

Thanks for visiting my blog and have a great day!

Panama / March 26, 2016 by Nathaniel Harrington

Just got back from a 10 day trip down to the Pacific Coast of Panama along with my wife Tatum and Brock Taylor. The trip was so adventurous and exciting. We pretty much went out to no-mans-land to score one of Brock's favorite waves.

This is my first look at most of these images and I just wanted to get an update out there quick for family and friends. We're stacked on photos and video, so its going to be a while till the whole story comes out.

Stoked to share this first look.

Panama was so good to us.

Home sweet home for ten days. We barely left that long, black sand beach for the majority of the ten days.

Right out front of the beach house we stayed at. The shore break was epic all week.

Brock charged so hard all week. Can't wait to share his good shots.

The beach house was amazing as well as the housekeeper, Matt. He was our tour guide and surf buddy, could not have asked for more.

The Last day in Panama City was short but a highlight of the trip! We wondered the streets for a few hours before heading home. Well worth our time.

Again thanks for looking. I can't wait to show what we got.

Gracias me amigos.

Fluid Magazine. Cover #3 and El Nino Story. / March 9, 2016 by Nathaniel Harrington

Its a great day when you get the notification that you have one more cover in the bag. Today I landed my third cover, second this month(#2 story coming soon).

Matthew Glenn and I linked up on a few decent barrels down south this past February where we got this shot now featured as page #1 in Fluid Magazine. Its an honor and a privilege, so stoked!

Make sure to flip over to the El Nino story to check out several more of my shots including some of Daniel Glenn, Tommy Coleman, and a beautiful empty barrel shot to kick it off.

Again Thanks Fluid Mag and Matthew!
