Hellooo Weekend. /  by Nathaniel Harrington

After a week of work there is nothing like a Saturday morning and pitching surf. The winds turned over night, cleaned it up, and gave us glory all day long! 

I shot all these images at Sebastian Inlet, Florida. The storms offshore really made the colors amazing! It was my first time being in the water at Sebastian so there was some getting used to it... all around though I think it was pretty successful and I can't wait for the chance to go there again. The East Coast keeps delivering.  

Peaky, clean, and size-able surf.

Ryan Reineke scored this perfect A-Frame right in front of me.. couldn't be more stoked. 

I got to see a piece of Ryan's mean backside capabilities. This was a dropping, bottom turn, to a powerful, vertical snap. 

David Speir gettin loose! Huge Tail blow. I'm really amped on the backlighting! 

Gahhh. 

Here's another of David. If the backwash looked like it was going to connect right and barrel, he was on it! I'm sure its been said before but this guy knows Sebastian Inlet well.

I'll close this post with an awesome shot of Ryan tucking into this little barrel. 

Shoots, that was a great morning. I hope you enjoyed the shots! I'll post two more previews to the morning in a couple days... I gotta send them out to a couple editors first ;) 

I am new to the area and don't know many folks around here yet. If you are interested in some surf photography please feel free to contact me at natehphoto@gmail.com. Also, if you know anyone who would be interested in seeing these shots please share! 

Thanks for checking in and Aloha friends.

Over the weekend... /  by Nathaniel Harrington

Sunday evening and trying to get another blog post up... This weekend was yet again full of fun surf, some clean conditions worthy of photos, and other conditions where it was just a way better choice to surf than attempt to get a shot. 

One of the highlights of my weekend was a sailing session down in Ft. Pierce on Saturday. This was my first time at sailing and it was the best thing ever. It took just a few minutes of getting used to the feel of the boats and then it was on! I loved every second of it. We used little SunFish sailing boats that are mainly used to teach surf. They are very unstable boats due to their light weight construction, so it teaches how to control the boat quickly. I really feel like I got the hang of it fast, and I can't wait to try sailing on larger vessels. If you have never attempted sailing, you need to! It's a blast. 

PS. Thank Donothan Williams for supplying the boats and teaching me to sail. :) you da best man! 

My wife and I filling the sail with wind, setting out for more practice runs. 

And of course here are a few surf shots I gathered over the weekend. Saturday night after the storms passed the sun came out and made for an epic sunset. 

Hope you enjoy the shots. 

 

Electric. The sky was on fire! 

I hope you also had a wonderful weekend. Please keep on checking in and sharing this blog with people who enjoy Surf Art and Ocean. :) 

I really appreciate all the support I've been getting recently! Mahalo Nui.

Right or Left? /  by Nathaniel Harrington

Though neither of these waves are surfable, they sure do make for great "Mind Surfing". Here's two A-Frames to dream about. 

How about this 2ft face to peak through. 

Same day, almost the same spot as the previous, this 2ft face shows a little more texture on the lip as water meets water. 

There's plenty more of these to come. The conditions have been a little on the small side to surf, but pretty perfect for getting awesome Surf Art. 

Let me know which frame is your favorite! 

Thanks for checkin in,

Vero Beach stays steady. /  by Nathaniel Harrington

OK, here's a couple more from the morning! This swell has tired me out so this blog is going to be short and sweet. 

Enjoy. 

I'll post more as this week continues! 

Thanks for checking in, please share if you are enjoying these photos!
