Waimea Bay, Haleiwa, North Oahu Hawaii is one the largest surf breaks in the
world. It is also home of the Eddie Aikau Memorial Big Wave Surfing contest only
held when the waves are at least 40 feet high. Waimea shorebreak waves are
some of the most powerful on earth, generated by far distant North Pacific Ocean
storms during the winter months (Sept-March). They are an incredible example of
the ocean's mightiness. This 20 foot high wave is breaking in water only about
four feet deep. It has been said that one wave this size if harnessed for energy
could provide enough electrical power to light a thousand homes for over an hour.
Native Hawaiians, surfers, and a lot of oriental people consider these magnificent
waves to be a supreme example of power and manifested with the spirit of mother
nature. To actually see these waves breaking along the shoreline is an awesome,
humbling, and unforgettable experience.
This is an original photo from long time Hawaii professional photographer Bill Romerhaus, of North Shore Photography who has been shooting and selling photos of historic surfing, Hawaiiana, stock, and scenics since 1967 to professional galleries, publishing, media, and corporate clients worldwide. His most recent work has appeared as background art in the NETFLIX "Finding Ohana", HBO Pilot "Rocky Point" CBS/Eye productions "Magnum P.I." & "Hawaii 50", Sony Pictures "Soul Surfer", Disney/Dreamworks productions "Fright Night", ABC Television pilot "My Generation", CBS/Paramount Network TV series "The Cleaner" on A&E Networks, Universal Pictures "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", and Warner Brothers  "The Big Bounce", filmed on the North Shore or on Oahu, providing vintage photos of nostalgia, and surfing for background artwork.
PRINT INFORMATION: Most of our prints are sharper than many of the lower resolution samples seen here. Please be aware that many of the older original images were not high quality and may be grainy or have some visible flaws. All mounted 8x10" prints are shrink-wrapped and come with a detailed caption label on the back, (or separate with unmounted photos), with several paragraphs of interesting detailed historical and photography information. This is what makes our prints different from other sellers and very popular with buyers.
Mounted prints are cropped to fit on a single 8x10" mat board and are not double matted cut-outs. Margins and borders are edges of the print, or the color of the mat. We print on long lasting lithographic, giclee professional glossy or mat paper using archival inks, or real photographic paper. Some prints are from black and white or hand colored originals, others have been ©colorized by our artist.
