For the July 4th fireworks, we walked up the hill a little ways behind our house in Point Loma to get a nice view of the fireworks. We found a nice little overlook that we had all to ourselves, and the clouds stayed high enough to not interfere with the show.

Check out this new Billboard that just went up in the Mission Beach Neighborhood of San Diego. It’s for the Mission Bay Aquatic Center and features a photo I took while riding in a tube behind a Correct Craft Nautique.

I just recently spent a few more days down in Baja, getting photos and doing a little riding myself.

Here’s what every windsurfer or kiteboarder that rides waves looks for:

If the road gets too rough, just make another:

Good times had by all:

I swam out with my camera yesterday at Tourmoline in San Diego to grab a few pictures of Corky Cullen on his new Cabrinha gear. Even though it was an average San Diego day (light wind, not much surf), Corky was still killing it.

Everything here done with a Canon 50D and Tokina 10-17 in an SPL housing.

Here is a selection of photos from yesterday’s wedding of Aaron and Danielle Friberg. The beautiful ceremony happened at Point Loma Nazarene University here in San Diego. Congratulations to Aaron and Danielle!

Wow, I’ve gotten behind on posting photos again! I just recently spent 10 days in La Ventana, Baja California for the 2010 La Ventana Classic and KiteXpo. This is an annual kiteboarding event that raises money for the local schools. I had a great time down there, and came home with over 40 GB of images! Especially interesting was the Burning Bush, a giant party in the middle of the desert where they set stuff on fire and shoot flames into the sky!

Last night was the annual Ocean Beach Christmas Parade here in San Diego. Always a good/interesting time in OB! All images shot with a Canon 50D at ISO 1600-2000.

On Friday, I headed down to the Ocean Beach Pier in San Diego to take a few pictures of the large waves. It was high tide when I got there and waves were hitting the bottom of the pier. I shot from the pier for a few minutes before the lifeguards chased everyone off and closed it down.

I ended up getting to try out a GoPro Hero Wide camera, and I’m very impressed with the thing. Check out the video below.

My good friend Nate just got married last week. For awhile, Nate was the most dedicated windsurfer you could imagine. It’s hard to imagine that not long ago this guy was a shaggy-haired windsurfing/sailing instructor living on my couch in OB!
