Based on the Hawaiian island of O‘ahu, Zak spends countless hours in the water, creating dramatic imagery and artful interpretations of the world’s most magnificent ocean environment. Here is an insider’s view, seldom seen, of the beauty and raw power of this offshore world. Here are color, shape and texture captured from within -- from the crystal clarity of a curling wave to the play of sunlight on a deep-ocean swell. Surf photographer Zak Noyle is an island boy who has spent most of his life in the water—at home in the Pacific Ocean. It is this lifelong love of the sea that prompted him to take up surf photography, to share with others the beauty of a watery world seldom seen from his perspective. Besides navigating the waves armed with a camera in an underwater housing, he is a surfer, bodysurfer, bodyboarder and swam competitively and played water polo during his high school years.
