Tail winds of Hurricane Isaias / August 4, 2020 by Nathaniel Harrington

Here’s a quick edit I made with the footage we gathered on this quick South Florida road trip. Daniel Glenn and Jack Hendrix wanted to chase the storm up the coast pretty much staying as close behind the storm as possible in an attempt to get the largest surf possible. It worked out really well. Check out the edit below.

Daniel Glenn quick hand drag in a South Florida barrel.

An empty rolls through, it was looking gorgeous.

Simple good fun.

I like making films with zero expectations :) Hope to be able to do this again soon.

Miami shows off, Barrels on Tap. / January 24, 2020 by Nathaniel Harrington

This was my first time shooting/swimming around at South Beach, Miami. I had kinda made it a rule of mine that I wasn’t going to go down there and get involved in all the hype… but Matthew Glenn took me down there on Wednesday to see if we could score a good surf session… As we peaked over the dunes entering the beach we knew what we were seeing was pure gold. A couple a-frames peaked up and riffled off sending matt and I into a full sprint back to the car to get geared up. Miami was firing.

Matt Glenn looking to make the drop and dodge the crowd.

I always enjoy bumping into this guy in the line-up. Dustin Richardson got the shot of me with his GoPro this round :)

A lot of the sequences I photographed look so similar that I have had to go back and forth in the album making sure I’m not using the same sequences over and over. I’m not, it was a machine on repeat all day.

I feel like if Miami could look like this just once a month it would turn the Miami South Beach culture into a major Surf Culture. World class waves at a million peoples finger tips.

You can see the water falling in the top left of the above which is from a surfer who just about paddled into both matt and I. We hollered him off but the sequence was wrecked a frame later by too much water in falling out of place. It happens.

Try try try till you die and you’ll score some perfection. Matt in a golden gift.

Enjoy the Views.

The backwash wave of the day? Excuse my water spot there was a lot of sand messing me up at that moment. Matt Glenn holding his line in the dragons flair.

Loving how Dustin looks at the waves he’s surfing. I feel like he has a really good awareness in the water and in those kinda moments.

It had some size. An unknown surfer giving me some scale for the wave.

Imagine backdooring that peak. You’re welcome.

its all good, baby baby.

Running from surf like its a big wave day.

Miami Beach_ South Beach _ natehphoto-8657.jpg

After a few hours of swimming I was cold and exhausted. Time to get a few from the shore I thought, so I joined the stadium standing and cheering as surfers got barreled up and down the beach. That crowd towards the end of the day was awesome to see. The stoke was real.

Unknown surfer probably got off work and rushed to the beach for a session, join the hype and live the moment, get views of a lifetime.

Had to get Matt one from shore for some scale. Seriously like 40 people were cheering as matt pumped a couple sections of this wave. It was so neat to be out there and a part of the vibes. Excellent form, Florida.

PS. Robbie your busted dude, the Surfline banner shot is sick but this happened a half-second later. Oh well, visit BDA for all your barrel dodging needs.

Thank you all for taking the time to check out my blog.

if you are interested in any shots please use the comments or Contact/Info page on this site to contact me. I’d love to see some prints come out of this day.

Hopefully we can all go surf some good to epic again real soon! See you out there.

Florida Spotlight from Surfline. / August 16, 2016 by Nathaniel Harrington

I'm so amped on this feature which Surfline put out two days ago.

Inside you will find some seriously good shots from a handful of Florida's finest surf photographers. Also, I am very excited about the interview they gave me in this feature. It's a pretty wild feeling being included with Surfline's top photographers. Stoked is an understatement, blessed is a good way to put it. Shoots Boiz I can't wait for some swell!

Check it out and enjoy!

Sebatian Inlet with Tommy and Chase. / May 25, 2016 by Nathaniel Harrington

Its already been a couple weeks since we had a decent day of surf, these summer lulls are setting in and its making my head hurt. On the other hand its been awesome to get out and fish, explore more of Florida while the ocean lays flat, which has really been the reason this blog post hasn't happened sooner.

In that, these shots are from a fun day spent at Sebastian Inlet with Tommy Coleman and Chase Modelski. Also there are a few good images of surf coach Michel Flores and and South African Rigard Smit.

It was another day of shooting from shore for me as my water housing is getting some leak repairs done. I guess when you use it as much as I do maintenance is required. :/

They surfed, we fished, we surfed some more soaking up every bit of swell we could before this long flat spell. Check it out.

Chase Modelski is a ripper! Hard to believe I haven't linked up with him sooner, but glad I have now.

South African Rigard Smit enjoying the tropical temps of our florida waters.

My daughter River hanging out with me on the beach. Its pretty rad to be able to bring her to work. She's styling some VonZipper's and a lot of SunBum!

There's only one person I have ever seen rip tiny waves apart like Tommy Coleman, and that is his surf coach Michel Flores. This Brazilian knows how to get performance out of his surf boards in every condition.

Chase Modelski reminds me of Chauncey Robinson. I'm seeing a lot of similarities in the way these guys surf.

When your surf coach goes upside down. Michel Flores trying Brazilian aerials.

Tommy's backhand snap is ridiculously dangerous.

And his fin release moves nail are sure to grab attention.

I haven't seen Blake Spier much lately, looks like he is always heading to cool places on planet earth, stoked to link up with him on this classic Sebastian Inlet first peak air revo.

Since I was shooting from the beach I figured I may as well make a short edit. Tommy Coleman has his air revo's on lock making this easy.

That's all from one day. So much fun.

Thanks a lot for checking into my site, hope you enjoyed.

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.
