Que onda mi gente?? Bri back with your Tuesday surf report. I’m gonna be upfront… today was a bit of one of those shockers… I mean it looked good from the beach, but between the lulls, inconsistency and straight up closeouts, after watching it for about 45 min to hour, I decided to go ahead and shoot anyways. I’ll let you guys be the judge or judges as to whether it looked good or not! Keep in mind, there’s no false news here… what you see is what you get! jajajajaja

All the mystery barrel surfers you’ve ever seen in the past aren’t real. I’ve photoshopped every single one of them starting out as an empty barrel and doing a little wizardry with my desktop skills!

I flipped this image because I needed more lefts to match my rights today so I had continuity and equality of both directions with my imagery. Luckily Josh went switch on this so it ended up making him look like his natural goofy footed stance.

Chocoyo did land this air. What you don’t see in the sequence is that he boosted over 3 guys which I ended up having to mask out. If you zoom in you can sorta see one of the guys feet I forgot to clone out.

John’s about my height, which is roughly 5’ 7”, which is why this wave looks so big for today.

See what Im saying about Lil’ John… it’s a good thing he’s so petite so he can squeeze into todays mini barrels.

Well, now I’m a little bummed that I clued you all into one of my best kept secrets in the surf photography business… this empty wave looked soooo GOOD, but it always looks better when you place a surfer under that lip!

Here’s another great insider trick of the trade… grabbing the clone tool and using the feather brush at about 45% and delicately selecting small portions of the white water at the back of the wave and placing under the surfer dramatically increases the spray. But only do this is you think you can pull it off… otherwise it looks really cheezy and fake!

Using that same effect on a top turn like this still applies, however, placing long distant objects (like a boat or some kind of island in the background) greatly improves the believability and also looks pretty cool!

Well…. all that being said…. I know Chris can concur that todays waves were at best mediocre and everything I said is pretty much accurate.  Let’s hope tomorrows waves are better and “really” a lot more fun!  Haha thanks for putting up with my sense of humor with todays surf report. It your’e confused by any of it… my apologies! Jaja - you’re all the best ~
