Reef and Tom

Check out the Extreme Photo of the Week on National Geographic's website. It features Reef McIntosh continuing his epic run of scoring big swells around the world. This time he's captured at Cloudbreak in Fiji by arguably the man whose shot the most photos there, Mr. Tom Servais. Well done Reef and Tom!

Tom Carey Interview on Adorama

We're happy to see that Adorama interviewed one of A-Frame's most versatile photographers earlier this month. Tom Carey can shoot it all. Fisheye at Pipeline, flash shots in the Mentawai, land angles in Mexico and portraits of surfing's elite. In addition to that, he's also one of the funniest and most down to earth guys we've come across. Well done Tom!

Beached Days and Creatures From The Deep

Last night we took the short jaunt into Laguna Beach to check out two events. Beached Days is a new magazine from Mitch Abshere aka Captain Fin and the launch party was held at the ultra hip Thalia Surf Shop.
