MR and Quiksilver

We're very stoked that Quiksilver is using Dan Merkel's classic shot of Mark Richards aka MR aka The Wounded Gull in it's latest advertising campaign. There's no mistaking MR's style and Merkel captured this straight legged bottom turn at Off the Wall on the North Shore of Oahu in the heyday of the Bustin' Down the Door era.

Flynn is Swell

Flynn Novak has been a fixture on the North Shore for years now. You usually see him parked in a massive Pipe pit or perfecting his Flynnstone Flip at Rocky Point. Recently, A-Frame photographer, Brent Bielmann scored the cover of the Swell catalog with Flynn putting it on rail. By shooting from a unique perspective, Brent managed to differentiate his photos from the rest of the pack shooting on the beach. Well done Brent!

Zak Noyle Atop a White Horse

We're stoked that A-Frame photographer Zak Noyle had his shot of Kalani Chapman standing tall in a rainbow-backed Tahitian shack chosen to grace the cover of the 4th issue of White Horses. If you haven't checked out White Horses, you need to. More megazine than magazine, this beauty deserves space on your coffee table rather than your bathroom.
