Learn moreI went to shoot "US Open DAY 3"!
I went to take photos on the third day of the US Open. First, I was able to photograph Cole Houshmand, a Lost player who competed in the Round of 32. However, Cole was eliminated in fourth place. In competitions that are not held on good waves like the World Tour, This may be advantageous for players competing in the QS and CS series. Kolohe Andino, who competed in the 7th heat, He made a buzzer-beating frontside tail high air reverse to move from third to first place and into the lead, and things started to heat up just before the end. The boat Kolohe was riding in was the outline of the "SUB DRIVER 2.0." Eli Hanneman competed in the final heat of the day. He was the previous year's US Open winner and was attracting a lot of attention, but he surprisingly finished in third place. Eli was riding Whiplash yesterday, but today he was riding DRIVER3.0. In the women's competition, Kira and Erin advanced but were eliminated in the round of 16.

I went to photograph the second day of the US Open. On that day, hurricane-force swells exploded from the south. Nishii surfed at Upper Trestles in the morning, then moved to Huntington Beach in the afternoon to take photos. The closeout set comes in, moving from left to right in the river-like flow that is typical of Huntington Beach summer. The players were struggling to get out, "Kolohe" is doing great. "Eli Hanneman" is also heating up in a good way. I plan to go and photograph their heat again tomorrow.

Learn moreComing in August! Pre-orders are now open for the August shipment of OZONE Eyewear's "LOW TIDE" Matte Gray Havana and Demi!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Pre-orders are now open for the August shipment of OZONE Eyewear's flagship model "LOW TIDE" in Matte Gray Havana and Demi, which are currently sold out! [ap_show_item 353765] [ap_show_item 353596] Matte Gray Havana and Demi are also very popular colors, and we have received many inquiries about them, such as "Will they be restocked?" Koji Nishii, a legendary professional surfer based in Los Angeles and Tokyo who is active worldwide, had been searching the world, including high-end brands, for sunglasses that he was satisfied with, but he couldn't find any. So he decided to produce the sunglasses himself from scratch and make them he could be satisfied with, and so OZONE Eyewear was launched in 2024. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCn2EShMQO0&t=2s Unlike well-known high-end brand sunglasses, which are mass-produced using molds and simply have the brand name printed on them, these are handmade by artisans, cut out from a single piece of wood, and polished to a high shine by hand, each one carefully finished. The high quality of OZONE Eyewear is a result of Koji Nishii's commitment to his products. For other OZONE Eyewear products, please click here!
