Jason O'Rourke Photography #1: Sandy Beach Wave
July 2019 | Edition: 1/1 NFT
While driving home from Kailua, I saw some powerful waves pumping at Sandy Beach Park. Mesmerized by the awesome shore break when "Sandys" is churning, I had to stop to shoot the barrels. When this wave exploded into my foreground, I was able to quickly refocus and capture the epic force of nature, a classic Sandy Beach Wave.
