Kelly Slater won his 11th ASP World Title, twice, last week. It was an honor to be there for both celebrations and definitely goes into my personal history books as one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The fact that it happened at Ocean Beach is some sort of a mini-miracle, and no doubt holds major significance in my mind.

This photo is from the second win on Sunday November 6th, which was not as wild as his first but still an exciting moment given that it his exit from the water was preceded by the most unbelievable barrel I have ever seen.

Coaches dotted the beach with binoculars, friends and girlfriends waited with towels and oversized sunglasses, and locals lined the beach watching one of the most high-performance out of contest sessions ever to grace Ocean Beach. Here, an unidentified pro breaks his fins loose as a warm-up to the Rip Curl Pro Search in San Francisco, CA Sunday October 30.

As a side note, when you’re a poor college local publication photographer you shoot with a 500mm Samyang mirror lens. That’s manual focus, single aperture (00), fixed length. I’ll be renting a $6k lens during the contest.

This is a quick portrait of local ripper Andy Olive.  The Bulletin has begun a new feature called “Show Us Your Quiver,” where local surfers expose their OB surf sticks.  Andy is someone I have seen in the water a number of times, and I’m stoked I got the opportunity to shoot his photo along with his boards and truck.  Check out what he’s doing over at San Franpsycho.

To answer something you may be thinking, YES the Danny Hess twin fin is as rad as it looks, and YES that is a Danny Hess handplane in the wheel.  Jon Weiand

Check out details on all the boards, and some funny anecdotes as told by Andy himself at the Ocean Beach Bulletin

The winds shifted for about two hours from stiff onshores to moderate to light offshores with no one out.  It takes dedication and a flexible schedule to catch it on a day like this.  This wave was one in a thousand.  Oh and I did not fake the lighting, I saw a split in the clouds and waited for some swell to hit this bar.  Jon Weiand
