Zak Noyle: Chasing the Shot

Zak Noyle and A-Frame have a long history together. His loyalty and dedication to getting the best shot possible make him one of the most sought after photographers in the industry. See what a typical winter season on the North Shore is like in this great spot Red Bull just released called Chasing the Shot: Here

Eric Sterman Aerial Videography and Photography

If you've seen aerial footage of Kelly Slater's perfect 10 from the Volcom Pro or Jamie O'Brien getting shacked at Pipeline and Backdoor, then you've seen the work of A-Frame's Eric Sterman. Eric has been on the forefront of aerial photography from a drone and is the go to filmer for many pros and companies searching for that unique bird's-eye perspective of our sport.

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.

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.

Red Bull Through My Eyes | Zak Noyle

If you're on Oahu, make sure you don't miss this event on Friday, January 6th at 6 pm, The Manifest!

Zak Noyle will be showcasing his images from the recent 2011 North Shore surf season in the Red Bull Through My Eyes photo gallery. There will also be a screening of Red Bull Momentum, a short profile film on the life of Zak.

We've seen the trailer (as well as Zak's 2011 North Shore images) and are confident you'll be blown away at the footage Red Bull has put together.

If you can't make the event you can always see Zak's latest photos here.

Rell Sunn Aloha Jam

A big thank you to all of the supporters of the inaugural Rell Sunn Aloha Jam. The event was a huge success and one that will undoubtedly become a regular fixture in the North Shore winter scene. Rell's spirit continues to effect our community and having the ability to pass her aloha on to future generations is a cause we here at A-Frame are firmly behind. See photos from the event here.
