Roaring waves and mewing ocean birds penetrate the pre-dawn darkness. Nick Selway, who has lived here in Hawaii for 14 years, parks and enters before the gate opens and then walks 20 minutes down to the shore where the water is warm—around 80 degrees.

“The ocean does something to your body, it kind of starts to heal you,” the 39-year-old photographer told The Epoch Times of his passion for photographing waves. That passion was first piqued from old surfing magazine shots from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
