Hi Shredability: Clark Little

For all its glory, the North Shore of Oahu is pretty conventional. Clark Little is one of the few photographers there who has been drawing his own lines since he started. We remember looking at photos of him surfing the Waimea shorebreak as a kid and wondering what the hell he was thinking. Now, several years later, he's taken his once-novice photography skills to the gallery level. He's quit his day job and just plays in the ocean all day.

[@laurenpoucel526]

This is sick to see! I just moved here in December and I see Clark's work everywhere I go and I've always wanted to see his process. Definitely subscribed now that I've seen this video. And can I just say how amazing/hysterical/wonderful it is how identical his explanation of Hawaii slang is with every local I've met. It's really how they speak! I love it!

[@thisisgalveston4546]

Three months after playing in shorebreak at Sunset, I had to go to ENT doc to get the sand out of my ears. Still can't hear that well, but so worth it.

[@Wolfethorne]

This was a great vid.

[@mistyaqua]

The jpg of this video looks like a dragon.

[@leew8296]

whats the best in your opinion?

[@coopersimpson7286]

He's got the best Instagram ever

[@BruceMac9]

It felt like the surf photographer was trying to understate Clark's skills.

[@MrIsomer]

No, Bielman wasn't doing that. He has plenty of skills himself. He is one of Clark's mentors. Plus, you always understate stuff if you live in da islands.

[@jadynbrown114]

anyone know the name of the song at 1:00?

[@Shad_Darts]

Jadyn Brown turbo fruits gotta get along

[@SKSer45]

[@captainmorga000]

My 1st best is with that stoner guy and a big frog

[@AtheismWorldWide]

I love the docs you guys produce but the use of "Hi Shredability" is a far reach if you're replacing the usage "Hi Fidelity". Sorry but it sounds pathetically.

[@Urstupidumbass]

His tone and personality is condescending, but what he says isn't.

[@ShavedMilk]

Testicles

[@bigbenlee1992]

Deep kimchi lls
