Tim Stacey, Velzyland (February theme: Blue)

Most surfers will have heard of the 'Seven Mile Miracle', that is the North Shore of Ohau in Hawaii. This shot was taken at one of the famous breaks known as 'Velzyland' in mid January 2017. On this day, other famous breaks like Pipeline and Sunset Beach were taking a rest, but 'V-land' as it's commonly known was the place to be. The water was a deeper shade of blue on this day, thanks perhaps to the overcast conditions. I find this photo mesmerising. I cannot wait to go back and shoot it again.
