Every now and then you come across a diamond in the rough. If you looked at her accomplishments, Nicole Wuthrich, Freesurfer for Alohaboardsports and Freesurf, Inc., would already seemed polished.For this young 25 year old, who happened to finish Cum Laude at the University of the Philippines, and is an accomplished Tae Kwon Do Champion, as well as Longboard Skate Champion, her unassuming disposition catches you off guard when you realize all that this young woman can do. Did I mention that she's also a University Professor specializing in Physical Education at the University of Asia & Pacific. I'll bet none of the student body ever cut her class...Last year, for our Aloha Christmas Sale, I invited Professor Nicole for a photo shoot at Capones Vista Resort. We shot for about 1/2 hour and it remains as one of my most enjoyable shoots ever. She was flawless, flowed effortlessly and worked with the conditions we had to endure. (lack of swell) After looking at the shots, I knew we nailed some keepers, but never really considered that I had nailed the cover.Here are samples of the March-April 2011 Print of Mezzo Magazine. All images shot with Pentax K7.
