Frozen Frothy Tubes

Today I had the pleasure of shooting one of Manasquan's greatest, Justin Taylor, and his mate Freddy Ecke.  They both got shacked more times than I can count, scoring tons of early morning barrels and snapping intense turns on a cold clean morning.  Too easy.

It was cold.

a very overcast day, occasionally throwing a burst of light or two through the blanket, giving me some awesome light to work with...

...like this break in the clouds, Freddy dropping in for a few fun turns

Justin, doing what he does best...

some black and whites... foam with a nicely formed frothy pit in the background

Justin again...

and again, this time powering down the face and eyeing up his next turn, while the seagull behind the wave eyes him up
