As photographers, there are certain moments that stand out as milestones.
One of those moments came when a photograph I captured of professional surfer Makua Rothman at Jaws (Peʻahi), Maui was selected as an entry in the 2013 Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards Paddle-In category.
For any surf photographer, having work recognized alongside some of the world’s most respected water photographers and athletes is both exciting and humbling.
Jaws, also known as Peʻahi, is one of the most famous big-wave surf breaks in the world. Located on Maui’s North Shore, the wave attracts elite surfers from around the globe whenever giant winter swells arrive.
Photographing Jaws requires preparation, patience, and a healthy respect for the ocean. Conditions can change rapidly, and opportunities often last only a few seconds before disappearing forever.
The image selected for the Billabong XXL Awards captured Makua Rothman navigating one of Maui’s legendary waves during a memorable swell event.
The Billabong XXL Awards celebrate some of the most incredible achievements in big-wave surfing, recognizing both athletes and photographers who document these extraordinary moments.
Being included among the award entries was a tremendous honor and remains one of the highlights of my photography career.
The experience reinforced something I have always loved about photography: the ability to preserve moments that may never happen again.
While much of my work today focuses on weddings, family photography, corporate events, resorts, incentive groups, commercial projects, videography, and FAA-certified drone coverage, experiences like photographing Jaws helped shape the way I approach every assignment.
Whether documenting a world-class surf break, a destination wedding, a luxury resort, or a corporate event, the goal remains the same: capture authentic moments and create images that tell a story.
