Happy Halloween!

Tourmoween 2024 was one of the most fun days I’ve ever photographed. Pavones already has its own vibe, but seeing everyone paddle out in costumes, surfing seriously while dressed totally not seriously, was something else. The lineup felt like a mix of surf session, carnival, and community gathering.

These shots come from being right there in the water, laughing between sets, dodging people in ridiculous outfits, and trying to keep the camera steady while watching friends pull off turns dressed as characters that absolutely should not be surfing. It was pure joy, the type of day that reminds you why surf communities are special.

If you were there, you’ll probably recognize some moments. If not, this gallery gives you a glimpse of the fun we had.
