I wanted something epic on this shoot, and the Pa'a Dunes at Makawehi on the South Shore of Kauai with the wide-open Pacific spoke fluently. I was already on the island for another shot, and a pro rider for O’Neill Girls, Kiana Fores, arranged for a shoot. She wanted to showcase her sponsor's merchandise, also I suggested we add wispy, loose fitting clothes to catch the wind. For the second part of the shoot, we went up to Ke’e beach. Tough day.
