Captured during the 2024/2025 winter season, North Swell reveals the North Shore in its purest form. I hiked high into the mountains behind the infamous Banzai Pipeline, chasing sunset with a heavy backpack full of camera gear. From this vantage point, you see the full rhythm of the ocean, perfect lines of swell marching toward shore, the line up of surfers, waves lighting up with that green glow, and the crowd gathered along the beach.
