This is early morning Pe'ahi, when the sun rises and the fortunate few on the water get to experience mother nature in all of her beautiful fury. Waves of 80 feet or more rise and fall and crash and boom, while the bravest of surfers push their luck again and again. The waves destroy jet skis and surfboards and can certainly claim lives with their violent energy. All the while it is astonishingly beautiful, the sights and sounds and smells are not soon forgotten.
This image makes for my favorite triptych and was installed in my own dining room on Maui for a number of years. If you'd like to see this or any of my art on your own wall check out my FREE art mockup service.
