Lucky Man

I am a lucky man, or should I say a very lucky man! I made it through puberty with out any emotional disorders, that I am aware of! I got turned onto Surfing at the age of 12 and in my 13th. year, my parents decided to take the family on vacation to Hawaii for the two week Christmas break, which richly deepened my love to surf, for the ocean, all the creatures within and that Beach boy lifestyle that was flourishing during the sixties. I was lucky that my Mom was also very supportive of myself and my friends passion for Surfing and would drive us to the beach any time I asked. I learned how to Surf at the Santa Monica Sport Fishing Pier and by age 14 had graduated up the coast to surfing that amazing right hander at Malibu regularly, and was a witness to that whole scene for many years following. I was very lucky to survived the sixties with all the craziness, protesting the war in Vietnam, drugs and experiments therein. Living in Dogtown there were plenty of creative souls to surround yourself with, world class Surfers, drug crazies, skid row bums, subversives, and life in general, for me, those days in Santa Monica/Venice were a daily experiment in survival, and the foundation for my growing passion of photography. I am a very lucky man, because my High School sweetheart has stayed with me through all this turmoil and craziness, we have raised two beautiful children together, survived the bumps on the road that life has a way of throwing at you, and still is supportive of my passions during the past 45 years! I have been lucky enough to acquire some of the worlds best gear to explore my world of photography; the Surfing, Beaches, characters, the mountains, deserts and the flora and fauna existing in these environments. I hope you enjoy viewing my world! Aloha….Liebs

Somewhere in Cali: Fake Fall

It felt like Fall this morning, yet it was only for a fleeting moment before the wind kicked into gear.

Today would of started out very early, but my alarm clock didnt go off as planned. But I awoke at six anyways, with a photo sent to my IPhone from an old friend showing me some very pretty waves before sunrise. Then about five phone calls from some frothy Mates saying the waves were good. So, a quick bowl of cereal, some coffee poured into the eyes, a banana for the road, and I’m off to hunt down some surf.

First stop was at the Pier, where I was greeted by some really pretty water color, great lighting and a few of friends out enjoying an early sesh. Uncrowded at first, the waves were around head high and very playful. Out at the Pier were Eric Knowles and a small handful of other Surfers enjoying the great conditions.I shot there for a hour or two and then my phone started exploding again, this time Shawn was calling, telling me that Sharkies was going off, and I should high tail it up there. So, on the road again heading North, to a spot that I haven’t shot yet, so my anticipation level was high. The reason that it is called Sharkies is, at the bottom of the trail there is a huge rock sticking out from the cliffs that looks like the head of a Great White Shark! You will see this in the slide show. This is a very rocky, reef lined stretch of coast with no beach at all. Even shooting, your standing on out cast dry reef, making it hard on the feet. But the surf was playful, and being a new spot for me, I had a blast. The Surfers enjoying this spot included; Shawn Tracht, Larry “LarDog” Bonner, Opie, Tom Maloney, Dean and a couple of others.

All in all, it was a great day. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did making them. Stay stoked and stay forever young. For now, Aloha Nui Loa….Liebsie

Aloha, I’m Charles and the founder of Shoots Photo Services based out of Maui, Hawaii. My interest in photography is boundless, my energy is unlimited, and I will take pictures of any thing thats exciting!

As a teenager I grew up in Florida in the 70′s and surfed the usual spots in South Florida as well as the occasional Upcoast/Sebastion trips, and one unreal trip to Hatteras. My dream was no different than any other mainland surfer…get to Hawaii. Well thirty years later I got here. While not quite able to surf the larger swells that come thru Hawaii, I found a passion to take the place of surfing, when it’s bigger than my skill level ..photography. This passion for pictures has kept me, as well as my long time partner/girlfriend/wife Veronica, busy travelling the different spots and shooting when the surf is up.

Please visit my website at www.shootsphotoservices.com and look at my pictures from various locations and feel free to purchase prints, coffeee mugs, mouse pads , T-shirts and a bunch of other merchandise all professionally printed and shipped direct.

Please also continue to follow the online surf magazine www.Surfwanderer.com where I will occasionally have photo galleries from my adventures posted.

Mahalo!

When World War II started, there was great paranoia in America worrying about an attack on our homeland, with real concerns about the Nazis invading the East Coast, and the Japanese attacking the West Coast, we started to build a defense system on our shores. Nazi submarines were actually sighted right off our Eastern shores, and there was a real threat on the Left Coast, when a Japanese submarine actually surfaced and torpedoed a small pier north of Goleta. One torpedo hit its mark, and the other ran up onto the beach. The sub commander radioed back to Japan, “We have destroyed Los Angeles!” In reality, he partially destroyed a pier that was about a hundred feet long!

America built bunkers and artillery installations all along our shores, most were torn down after the war, but some are still there as a reminder of a time long ago, a testament to our military strength.

Today I met up with a small crew of young surfers at a spot I haven’t shot photos at for almost forty years. This spot we call “Bunkers” because there are still a few of those artillery and machine gun bunkers lining the beach, and foothills overlooking this stretch of coast. Its a wild coast, and requires a half hour hike through the foothills to get to this pristine beach. You have to skirt around marshlands, where rumors of quicksand run through your mind with every footstep, so your very careful where you walk, and always want to go in with a friend, remembering a piece of rope or a long stick, just in case. The long stick is always good this time of year, just incase of the odd rattlesnake!

The waves were really fun today, well worth the walk in. We arrived at the beach and were greeted by 3-5′ waves with a nice offshore wind. The way this beach faces, it makes for studio lighting all morning…I was stoked, especially after virtually forgetting about this little niche for almost a lifetime, and how fun it can get now and then.

Today’s crew consisted of Lorin Anderson, Brian Wordinger, Jake KIng, Mark Longston, Scott Martinson, Josh Mann and Jordan Sevard. There was also a pod of whales, plenty of pelicans and birds, and an odd seal or two. On the hike back out everyone was talking about how they were so stoked to have such a great little session, and when we’ll ever muster up the energy to go back. So sit back and enjoy the photos, and I will say Aloha Nui Loa……..Liebs
