Hinckley // Dasher

Hinckley // Dasher

December 14, 2017

This year, Hinckley unveiled a first of its kind for the luxury powerboat industry:  the Dasher.  Entirely electric, this sleek 28 footer is powered by lithium ion BMW batteries and a super quiet "Whisper Drive" propulsion system.  Complete with custom 3D printed cleats, a retractable windscreen, and artisanal teak rails, she is a beauty to behold.  
In October, I had the pleasure of photographing the Dasher for Hinckley's product catalog.  We were blessed with sunny skies and warm breezes, despite it being early October.  We took Dasher out for a spin on Narragansett Bay, circling through Portsmouth and up towards Bristol.  Even as we jetted across the Bay at full speeds, the only sounds by the stern were of the water, be it the sound of a babbling brook or a roaring waterfalls as we sped along the water.  Fellow creative Chris Love of Chris Love Productions was also onboard as part of the media team, creating motion and video. 
As a lover the environment, the boating industry, and great design, I was greatly impressed with Dasher.  In an industry traditionally powered by gas and diesel, the direction the marine industry is taking with Hinckley at the helm is a breath of fresh air.  Hinckley has stepped into the forefront to lead the way in sustainable luxury watercraft, and I could not have been happier to be part of the team bringing Dasher into the limelight.

Warm Getaways
Warm Getaways

February 10, 2020

I had been eagerly awaiting this winter season.  Here in New England, the winter months can be rather frigid, but for those of us who don’t mind the exhaustive work of climbing into 6 mil wetsuits or ice-cream-headache cold waters, it’s the eagerly anticipated winter months that bring the biggest swells.  We had snow before the New Year and water temps quickly started approaching 40°F.  But in typical fashion, as soon as the long awaited winter months arrived, I was craving a break from the cold gray in favor of a warm water reprieve.

Board Portraits // Experiments

April 30, 2019

I've been wanting to shoot more portraits lately, but in combination with the surf community that I've been so involved with the past year.  My good friend, Kevin Tanner, behind Soudnings Surf Co creates some gorgeous handcrafted boards.  He does all his own shaping, resin work, and glassing, and I wanted to photograph some beautiful boards to highlight his craftsmanship as well as portraits of my friends who ride them.  I decided to do board portraits.

Snowy Surf Sessions
Snowy Surf Sessions

A lot of us enjoy the warm weather, but a select few of us still enjoy (or perhaps tolerate) the cold weather.  And nothing quite says winter like a fresh snowfall!  On the rare occasion Rhode Island experiences more than one inch of snow while there's swell in the water, you can find a select few of dedicated riders on the shore eager to have a snow session.
