Behind the Lens: Tommy Perkins

Maui is without doubt the most well known windsurfing Mecca, attracting hoards of pros and holiday makers every year, ready to take on the brutal Ho’okipa break. Boardseeker catches up with and gets behind the lens of windsurfer and photographer, Tommy Perkins. 

Tommy takes us on a whistle stop tour of Maui, with some unbelievable images, but first lets find out a little more about the man behind the camera:

When my new wife and long-suffering windsurfing widow, Jo, left me in charge of organising our honeymoon destination there was only one place on my mind: Maui. We’ve been lucky enough to have several trips to Maui before, chasing perfect wind and waves. Here’s a few photos that we’ve taken on our trips….
