He may just be a surfer dude, but Oahu resident Clark Little is blowing the minds of photography fans all over the world. A total adrenaline junky, Little admits he loves the rush of getting tossed about in the waves. With childlike abandon, and a set of flippers, he fearlessly dives into his shoreline landscape.

It all started when his wife brought home a (lame) picture of North Shore waves. And he basically said, “I don’t think so.” He let the tide take him on his way. And in the last 8 years, he has never lost his sense of wonder. Each shoot is pure joy — and it shows. It’s what every artist should feel — and share. Check out the video and photographs below.
