IMAGES OF HUGE WAVES

ON THE FIRST SUNDAY OF THE YEAR A FEW MILLIONS OF PEOPLES HAD THE CHANCE TO WATCH ON "GLOBO TV " SOME INSANE FOOTAGE THAT I CAPTURED ON THE NORTH OF THE CALIFORNIA COAST.
"ESPOTE ESPETACULAR " IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SPORT SHOWS IN SOUTH AMERICA AND THIS SEGMENT WAS ONE OF THE HIGH LIGHTS OF THAT SHOW.
IT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST WAVES EVER SEEN ON THAT AREA , AND I WAS VERY FORTUNE TO BE THERE ON THAT VERY SPECIAL DAY.

FIRST DAY OF THE YEAR

NOT BAD...
START THE YEAR GETTING MARRIED...
IT WAS NICE TO SHOOT ON THE WEST SIDE OF OAHU ON THAT DAY..
BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING ON THE REST OF THE ISLAND...
ALSO IT WAS ON A GREAT LOCATION ...
