Clark Little's amazing photos of breaking waves

These incredible images of waves were taken by the number 1 photographer of surf: Clark Little.

Clark, 39 years old, grew up on the north shore of the Hawaiian island Oahu, one of the focal points for the development of big wave surfing. He has dedicated his life to producing photographs of the inside of waves, images usually reserved for only the most intrepid surfers. He is used to swim in terrifying seas and crouches on shorelines with his camera in water-housing equipment to capture rarely-seen views from inside breaking waves, also known as 'tubes'.
