Shorebreak Sessions #6: Ngarunui Beach - Raglan, NZ

in #shorebreaksessions6 years ago (edited)

As promised here is the sixth installment of the #shorebreaksessions series!

After 2 weeks on the road, the car/house is still in 1 piece, the beard is getting delightfully ropey, all my boards and limbs are pretty much intact and the Germans are being kept at bay with a large stick.

Yesterday was the 3rd day of the policeman's comp at Manu bay, after surfing the morning I opted to save on surf froth and instead recharge being thrown around the lush waters of the Raglan beachie in the afternoon.

With a swell period of 16seconds and the tide low, this wave got a bit thick, throwing some mildly hollow shapes (and beginner surfers) up and down the beach.

Touchè Raggers.

At the moment I'm shooting without a dome lens. Generally this doesn't make much of a difference unless you're shooting from the water - especially with shots that are half in/half out of the water. This pic may have had more depth with a lens, but to still get that desired 50/50 effect without is awesome.

Monochrome not monobrow.

Thanks for taking me in trip out of town!

It's pretty cool how those clouds are in there with the lip in the first two. Like the color also!

Cheers Legend!

Yeh it was a beautiful day - couldn't decide between colour or mono so opted for both
