On the westside of O’ahu are stunningly beautiful beaches that you can watch the sunset from. During the winter the winds are so strong and tide so heavy that it’s easy to catch both the sunset and the crashing waves. These two powerful elements make for some awesome scenes. The waves thundered so hard that I actually got a little scared for getting so close. But the rocks just in front of me guarded against the chaos just feet away. I was grateful to be able to catch these without getting beat down by it’s force. Amazing!!!

Hiking the most infamous Olomana Trail or 3 peaks as some people call it. This is one of my favorite hikes that I go to. Lots of climbing and breathtaking views wherever you look. Enjoy! P.S this is ME :D

The Olomana Trail is a hike up three peaks in the Kailua area of Oahu. The three peaks is a test of attributes. The first hike is a test of endurance 1.5 mile up a steep mountain. The second climb pushes your physical strengths, through climbing rocks and ropes. The last is all mental, it pushes your fear of heights and sketchy situations.

Started our hike at 3 AM to avoid security guards. Had some difficulty navigating through dense forests, but eventually stumbled upon the entrance to one of the most breathtaking hikes on this planet.

There is something magical about sunsets. This was shot in Hawaii during the winter after a long day of surfing. I just love taking my time, breathing in deeply and gazing at the sun disappearing into the horizon.

Our recent move to North Shore Oahu was the best thing we could’ve done. Within two weeks we ended up buying two longboards and surfing almost everyday. School and work seem to be an afterthought. The waves and silence of the ocean have seemed to steal our souls.

Heavy waves call to me. Just the raw power, awe and beauty inspire me. I happened to line this one up as some huge sets a back doors were coming through.

I love how the back of a wave creates these whisps and trails of white wash. Turning it up and down creates a very cool texture.

A memory of our 2017 vacation at Hawaii’s most popular beach - Waikiki. There’s only one like it, where the long sets of waves allow even the most inexperienced to hire a Malibu Longboard and give surfing a go. So much to enjoy in Waikiki, even with it’s popularity. Somehow people get absorbed into the many hotels, bars, shops, tours and, of course, the beach and Pacific Ocean. We hired a convertible Mustang to tour the island - great day out!

I love the the big banyan and the new grass they put in, and adding a touch of ocean just topped off the shot.

As we summited the Haiku Stairs with the sun was peeking over the horizon, we felt like we were the only ones on this beautiful planet. That was short lived when a helicopter decided to spoil our euphoric moment. But it was still cool, so I snapped a picture of him. :)

Mt. Olympus in all its glory. I was hiking directly below this shot on the ridge never knew how beautiful it would be from above.
