I'M CURRENT IN INDONESIA WHERE I JUST FINISHED FILMING THE OPENING SCENES FOR GLOBO'S NEW SOAP OPERA STARTING NEXT SEPTEMBER.
TV GLOBO DIRECTOR'S HIRED THE "SURF ADVENTURES" TEAM TO CAPTURE THE OPENING SCENES OF THE NEW SOAP OPERA THEY WANTED THE QUALITY SO WE WERE FILMING ALL IN 16mm FILM . TOGETHER WITH MASANGANA FILMS DIRECTOR ROBERTO MOURA , ME AND WATER MAN CARLOS SAN FELICE WHERE WORKING WITH THE SPECIAL EFFECTS COORDINATOR FRANCISCO PERALTA THAT WAS USING SOME STUNTS TO PERFORM ON INSANE WAVES , A NEW SOFT WEAR IS BEING USED TO REPLACE THE FACE OF THE STUNTS WITH THE MAIN ACTOR PRETTY INTERESTING STUFF. WE WERE FILMING IN SOME OF THE MAJOR SURF SPOTS ON BALI LIKE, ULUWATU , KERAMAS , PADANG PADANG AND BINGIN . THE MAIN ACTORS PAULO VILHENA , RODRIGO HILBERT AND OMAR DOCENA WERE ALSO GETTING SOME WAVES WHEN THEY WERE NOT FILMING THE "OUT OF THE WATER SCENES" . FOR ME IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE AND I WAS VERY GLAD TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO MEET SOME GREAT PEOPLE LIKE DENIS CARVALHO , MAITE PROENCA , MARILHA FONSECA AMONG OTHERS.
IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THOSE GUYS A LITTLE BIT OF MY WORKING SKILLS.

IRON WOMAN

ANDREA MOLER
REACH OUT
FOR SURE SHE KNOWS HOW TO SURF
KEEPING THE PASTE
GETING CLOSE TO OAHU

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I WITNESS SOME ONE CROSSING THE 37 MILES OF THE KAIWI CHANNEL WITH OUT ANY EXCHANGES OR BREAK .
ANDREA MOLER FROM MAUI HIRED ME TO REGISTER THE EPISODE THAT TOOK 5hs AND 19min .
SHE WAS PADDLING ON A OC1 A HAWAIIAN OUTRIGGER CANOE FOR 1 PERSON ONLY .
WITH HER IN THE ESCORT BOAT BESIDES ME , HER COACH AND HER YOGA INSTRUCTOR .
IT WAS AMAZING HOW SHE MAINTAINED THE SAME PASTE UNTIL ALMOST THE END OF THE RACE.
I WAS SHOOTING STILLS AND VIDEO .
NOT AN EASY TASK WHEN YOU ARE BOUNCING AROUND ON A BOAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN..
BUT IN THE END THE RESULT WAS VERY SATISFACTORY.
PRAISE THE LORD FOR THAT!
MAHALO KE AKUA!

MEET THE LEGENDS

GERRY LOPEZ AND RORY RUSSEL
THE CROWD AT WAIMEA FALLS - NORTH SHORE
GERRY AND JOCKO

SURFING IS WHERE YOU FIND IT..
WITH THIS TITLE LEGENDARY SURFER GERRY LOPEZ PUBLISHES HIS FIRST BOOK ..
HE WAS SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS AT WAIMEA FALLS PARK WHERE PATAGONIA ORGANIZED AN EVENT TO OFFICIALLY PRESENT THE BOOK TO THE PUBLIC..
GARRY WAS VERY PLEASED TO BE BACK IN THE NORTH SHORE , " THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE FOR ME , WHERE I LIVED SOME GREAT MOMENTS OF MY LIFE SO IT IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO DO THIS EVENT" SAID MR. PIPELINE..

GOING OUTSIDE...

AS A PHOTOGRAPHER IT IS ALL WAYS GOOD WHEN YOU HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT TO DO...
BUT HAVING TO SHOOT A COVER SHOT FOR A MAGAZINE LIKE GO OUTSIDE , I DEFINITELY FELT SOME PRESSURE...
BUT BEING AN OUT DOOR PHOTOGRAPHER HELPED A LITTLE WHEN THEY ASKED FOR A SHOT DURING A SUNSET.
WE HIRED VANIA SIMONS AS OUR HAIR AND MAKE UP ARTIST AND JUST WAITED FOR THE RIGTH COLORS IN THE SKY...
I HAD NO PROBLEM WORKING WITH MAYA,HER SMILE WAS ALL WAYS THE SAME ON EVERY SINGLE SHOT...
I'M VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS OF THE PHOTO SHOOT AND HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO BE CONTRIBUTING AGAIN WITH A MAGAZINE WITH SUCH GOOD REPUTATION LIKE GO OUTSIDE .
