This is the second time winning for Zak, as he also snapped the winning image of Billy Kemper during the inaugural year of the competition. This also makes it 3 in a row for A-Frame photographers as Tony Heff won last year with his shot of Nathan Florence.

Congratulations are in order as Nathan Florence and Tony Heff were the winning combo in the 2nd Annual Sion Milosky Steep and Deep Pipeline Photo Challenge. Nathan elevator dropped into a thick and mean Pipe shack, grabbed rail and muscled his way into a pit that Sion would have been proud of. A-Frame photographer, Tony Heff was swimming in the challenging conditions and nailed the winning shot along with the ensuing barrel. Check out the entire sequence here.

Steep and Deep Photo Challenge

LiveLikeSion.com - The 2nd Annual Steep and Deep Pipeline Photo Challenge Begins Saturday, November 10, 2012

We are excited to announce the second annual Steep and Deep Pipeline Photo
Challenge! The contest returns after a successful inaugural event, with Billy Kemper and photographer Zak Noyle taking top honors for a dreamy, backlit Pipe bomb. This year we look forward to even more barrels more prize money — all in loving memory of Sion Milosky.

Sion was an extraordinarily talented and humble family man. His unparalleled bravery in big waves and his first passion, charging pipeline, made a lasting impact on the greater surf world. Steep and Deep celebrates the commitment that Sion embodied by rewarding the surfer and photographer who link up for the best water photograph of the winter from Pipeline or Backdoor. The contest waiting period begins on November 10 and closes on February 10. Any surfer who registers has a chance to win. And any photographer, regardless of magazine, brand or media affiliation, is eligible to win. All entries must occur during free surf sessions — no waves ridden during a heat will be considered. Images will be judged by a panel of Sion's peers, Pipeline specialists and photography experts.

The winning surfer and photographer will receive $2500 each from Vans, as well as a custom hardwood framed copy of the winning image. Vans will also give a matching $5,000 donation to the Sion Milosky Memorial Fund.

Surfers and photographers can register in person at Sunset Beach Elementary on November 12, 6 to 9 pm, or via email at steepanddeeppipeline@gmail.com. The last day to register is November 30. A donation of $20.00 to the Sion Milosky Memorial Fund is suggested upon registration. All who participate will receive a T-Shirt and Live Like Sion stickers.
