Clark Little

Clark Little was born in Napa, California in 1968. Two years later, a move to the North Shore of Oahu (Hawaii) dramatically changed his future. In the 80’s and 90’s he made his name as a pioneer of surfing at the Waimea Bay shorebreak. Clark had a unique talent for taking off on hopeless closeout shorebreak waves and surviving in one piece.

In less than three years, Clark has gained national and international recognition for his North Shore shorebreak wave photography with appearances on television shows Good Morning America, Inside Edition, The Today Show, and ABC World News Now. Clark’s work has been featured in many publications and newspapers including Paris Match (France), La Vie (France), The Guardian (UK), The Telegraph (UK), Nalu (Japan), Surfer’s Journal, Surfer Magazine, Surfing Life (Australia), Geo (Germany), Nature’s Best Photography, Stern-View (Germany), Hana Hou (Hawaiian Airlines) among others.

In 2007, Clark discovered his ability and passion to capture the extraordinary beauty of the shorebreak when his wife asked him for a picture of the ocean to decorate a bedroom wall. With his shorebreak surfing experience in mind, Clark grabbed a camera, jumped in the ocean, and starting snapping away recording the beauty and power of Hawaiian waves for all to enjoy. “Clark’s view” is a unique view of the waves from the inside out that most people would only be able to experience safely on land while viewing one of Clark’s photos.
