JBay Surfcam - Photography by Paul van Jaarsveld |
|
I moved to Jeffreys Bay in November 2006 after longing to move here all
my life. I tried surfing 6 years ago at Point on rented surfboards and
wet suits resulting in near bankruptcy and only standing on three
waves. (So what if I used a Safari Spider 6.8 to start with and not a
long board?) When I moved here, I paddled out as soon as I could lay my
hands on a board. That was as far as my surfing pedigree went when I
started this website.
One of my areas of passion, excluding surfing, is photography. I used
to be an "old school" SLR hobby photographer and could never afford to
make the leap to digital. Not too long ago, I made that leap on thin
air. (Read overdraft) I really love the freedom of taking hundreds of
photos in a shoot and not having to worry about the development bill
aftermath, if you catch my drift.
On this website you will find photos of people who surf in Jeffreys
Bay, South Africa as well as a few lifestyle photos or maybe some
sunrises and sunsets or just empty line ups. I frequent spots like
Albatros, Point, Tubes, Super Tubes and sometimes Boneyards. Kitchen
Windows is a bit out of my way, but maybe some guys can convince me to
take a few? The photography I do is land and water based and I work
hard to get my shots.
I would not yet call myself a Pro, but I see how my photography
improves daily. I believe that successful people begin where they are
with what they have. I you want me to do a shoot for you or you want a
print or a higher resolution image file of your photo, please get in
touch with me on the "drop me a line" page. I might charge you
something small but that will help me to fund my photography and even
to upgrade my equipment. I am also available to do 1 or 2 hour shoots
depending on my program, your program and the waves.
So here's to you people, the subjects of my photography, and here's to God that made the Sea and the elements for us to play in!
Peace.

Victory For Ryan Payne In Cooking Supertubes
Barrels
Jeffrey’s Bay
– In what can only be described as perfect waves, Ryan Payne outpointed Warren
Dean in a dramatic and incredibly close final of the inaugural Xcel Supertubes
Showdown. The surf varied between four to six-foot, and most of the surfers
throughout the event were just chasing the tube - the highest scoring move in
surfing.

 How's this cool painting my wife did of one of my old photos? (I took at Supers on a stormy day.) I am building a website for her to show off her work and will be running a couple articles on her work later on. She works in acrylic on canvas and that particular painting is 1.5m wide.
Click on the image to see the the amazing detail.
