RIEKO TOMINAGA - TEMPEST SURFBOARDS PHOTOSHOOT

IT WAS A GREAT PLEASURE TO MEET RIEKO TOMINAGA FROM JAPAN , SHE WAS THE PERFECT MODEL FOUND BY RICHARD HUNTER FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT . WE CHOSE A COUPLE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS BETWEEN WAIALUA AND HALEIWA . THE IDEA WAS TO GET A GOOD COMPOSITION WITH THE TWO ELEMENTS RIEKO AND THE SURFBOARDS . THE RESULT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING.

THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST YEAR FOR BIG WAVES IN THE PACIFIC AND TO HAVE A COUPLE OF SHOTS BETWEEN THE NOMINEES FOR THE BILLABONG XXL BIG WAVE AWARD OF 2010 WAS DEFINITELY A HONOR.

IT WILL BE A TOUGH DECISION THAT BILL SHARP AND CREW WILL HAVE TO TAKE TO CHOOSE THE WINNERS BUT THEY MADE A VERY GOOD JOB NARROWING IT DOW TO THE FINALIST .
