Waimea shorebreak surfer turned art photographer, Clark Little has included a collection of his popular photos as well as new images each of which capture the power and beauty of Oahu's North Shore waves from the inside out.

Clark Little was born in Napa, California in 1968. Two years later, a move to the North Shore of Oahu dramatically changed his future. In the 80's and 90's he made his name as a pioneer of surfing at the Waimea Bay shorebreak. Clark had a unique talent for taking off on hopeless closeout shorebreak waves and surviving in one piece.

In 2007, Clark discovered his ability and passion to capture the extraordinary beauty of the shorebreak when his wife asked him for a picture of the ocean to decorate a bedroom wall. With his shorebreak surfing experience in mind, Clark grabbed a camera, jumped in the ocean, and starting snapping away recording the beauty and power of Hawaiian waves for all to enjoy. "Clark’s view" is a unique view of the waves from the inside out that most people would only be able to experience safely on land while viewing one of Clark’s photos. Photography has become his career and the ocean has become his office.

A Collector's Edition is also available. Only 500 of the Collector's Edition will be printed and will include a leather cover, clamshell case with embossed lettering, and two limited edition prints only available in the Collectors Edition.
