Tail winds of Hurricane Isaias /  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.

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

Miami shows off, Barrels on Tap. /  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.

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

Perfection in the South.

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.

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.

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.

Florida Spotlight from Surfline. /  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! 

CA Update, Surf is Pumping. /  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.

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. 

Speed skating through the barrel. 

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.

NSB on Monday /  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. 

Bringing the ladies to the beach. 

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

Nose Chillin. 

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. 

Smooth Stepping

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

Matthew Glenn. 

Shakkas

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 /  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. 

Panama_March2016_natehphoto-0824.jpg

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.
