Tubes and Tow In’s

Here are some surfing images from shoots I’ve been at from the past couple weeks. With the start of fall and the dusting off of wetsuits and booties Virginia Beach has been getting a pretty consistent swell starting with the nor’easter of 2009.
To supplement the smaller swell days a small group of locals has started practicing tow in’s. I was lucky enough to be at the beach shooting some images of the old Coast Guard Station while they were out having some fun. Normally seen on the west coast in places like Maverick’s and the Hawaiian Islands for big surf, using the jet ski they were able to get a lot more speed and power than normal, which resulted in some pretty big airs. Looked like lots of fun and definitely fun photographing.
