50 Totally Awesome Surf Photos
Written 3 years ago by Lee Milthorpe
The summer here in England has arrived and the weather this past week has been baking! Perfect weather for surfing, and what better way could there be to celebrate the happy season than to give you a post full of inspirational surf photography from four really talented individuals!
I’ve never actually attempted to surf, apart from the many failed attempts to surf the inflatable alligator in the hotel swimming pool as a child, and teenager, and come to think of it, as a 23 year old last week, but I am writing this post whilst wearing my new boardshorts and flip flops so I at least feel like I could be riding a few of these waves. Enjoy!
Cory Scott
First up is Kiwi gymnast, stuntman and chief photographer for New Zealand Surfing Magazine, Cory Scott.
Jeff Divine
Surfer’s Journal editor, Jeff Divine shoots some stunning photographs.
Clark Little
The most beautiful wave photographs I have ever seen, by Hawaiian photographer, Clark Little.

Doubtlessly Stunning photographs. But, as per my little knowledge, I think post processing has exceeded a little in Little’s images.
VERY impressed with Clark Little….Amazing wave shots..just amazing!
Coooooool. Awesome Photos!
I’m a big fan of the inside the curl of the wave shot. Great skill and concentration needed as no doubt the photographer got tumbled after the shot.
awesome… ;-)
Amazing photos…

Wow, amazing photos!
Awesome set of surf photos!
Andrew Shield’s Night time shots truly inspirational.
wow..awesome pics.
Jeff’s 1970s Kodachromes are the best… check out his site for those.
Only one word comes to mind. AWESOME!
WOW, thos are some great photos. How do they focus in the dark? What I mean by this is I am looking at the flash photos, but how do they focus a second before the flash goes off, or is it really not that dark where they can focus, but the flash is making it seem darker then what it is.

Andrew Shields photos are always great, and Clark Littles shots are just artistically amazing.

Inspiring! Those photos are really good. All those photos above combined two of my dream things -surfing and photography. I cannot imagine how hard it is for the photographers to take those photos when they did. But if I´d have to challenge myself when taking those photos, I would still have a big smile on my face upon seeing those photos.
