Rip Curl Pro - Event Photography

  • Justin Barnwell
The quiet coastal fishing town of Peniche staked its claim as Europe’s ultimate surfing destination during the 2011 Rip Curl Pro Portugal, with the infamous Supertubos cranking into action for three unforgettable days of perfect waves.

The ASP’s elite claimed the surf as the best of the year, weaving their way through wavepool- like barrels left and right in the third-to-last contest of the season.

For the past 2 years Justin has been the daily photographer on the Rip Curl Pro in Peniche. Working directly with Rip Curl marketing and the event web team Justin provided up to date images of the surfers, the crowds, the waves and the sponsors of the event in Peniche, Portugal.

Working under pressure and tight timelines Justin has demonstrated both years that he is able to deliver, fresh, fast and creative photographs that have been eyeballed by many across the globe, hosted on the Rip Curl Pro website as well as being sent out with regular press releases from the Rip Curl marketing team.
