Dan Merkel's (Legendary Surf Photographer) Light house and Wave Photography 

Thank you Mr Merkel... I remember looking at your photos when I was a young boy. I also remember you using an air mattress.

You don't get a nickname like "Man Mountain Merkel" for nothing. I was a firsthand eyewitness to this guys unparalelled work ethic for over 25 years. I inherited his Free Ride watercamera and his Hawaiian TV water camera gigs in the 80's. He was a very hard act to follow...
