40 Degrees of Thankfulness! /  by Nathaniel Harrington

First, Happy Thanksgiving! I don't know about you but this is my favorite Holiday of the Year! Just the name gets me.. Thanksgiving! Awesome. 

This morning I woke up here in St. Petersburg to a chilling 40 degrees at 6am. Grabbed my SPL WaterHousing, which I had to brush the dust off of..., grabbed my cup of tea and off to the beach! 

I arrived as the sun came up to see a wonderful sight, waves. Barrels none the less! The wind has switched from the howling on-shore to the glassy-machine-barrel-making off-shore breeze. First thought that came to my head was, "I'm so Thankful!". God hooked it up this morning.

I shot a lot of images as I froze in the cold air, chest deep in the warm water. Every wave was an opportunity for me to get my head wet again warming it up just to be greeted by the chilly bast out the back end. Yes, it was freezing. I shot for two hours, attempting to fill my memory card as fast as possible so I could feel like I had accomplished my mission of finally getting barrels shots again. 

Below is the outcome of a wonderful start to this thankful day. I hope you enjoy, 

Again, Happy Thanksgiving!

Central California Barrel bra. These mini A-frames were part of an epic trip to Northern California this last summer. 

Ben Classen and I went out to this super fun beach break after an epic morning of driving through Big Sur. The waves were on the smaller side and the water was cold.. but central california produces images none the less. 

Throw Back. /  by Nathaniel Harrington

Somethings I miss in life. As I look back at these days I smile knowing I pursued a career in snowboard photography as hard as I could for a long time, and it paid off! It tought me so much. I'm thankful and Stoked. With out these days I wouldn't be doing what I am now as well as I can. 

PS. I do miss freezing my butt of on these frigid winter nights.

Fan Out! /  by Nathaniel Harrington

Here's a wave for you! Love that Beautiful backwash effect! Fan out.  

Laguna Beach mystery spot! Who can tell me where this is(excluding porter hogan). I'll say its one of my favorite locations and an amazing spot to find some of THE BEST shore break in California.
