What better way to celebrate my surfing photos from South Carlsbad being featured on the back of the iLife ’11 boxes along with landing a spot in the iPhoto ’11 demos on every Mac in every Apple store worldwide than to offer up a contest of my own. The winner gets this fatty barrel shot from inside a wave printed on a 16×23.5 fine art acrylic from Millers Professional Imaging. One winner will be picked from random. To enter follow the instructions on this blog entry by clicking below.
TO ENTER:

The winner will be picked at 100% random. I have no control over the outcome. How it works is that I’ve installed a wordpress plugin called And The Winner Is… that looks at all the comments below and will randomly pick a winner on December 1st, 2010.
WHAT YOU GET:

I’ll be printing this shoot on 16×23.5 Fine Art 1/4″ Acrylic from Millers Professional Imaging (one of the best printing labs in the business!). The printing process is quite simple: the image is printed directly on acrylic with a layer of white screen print on the back. Stainless standoffs will be included (sit 5/8″ from the wall) so you can hang it anywhere in your house. They look best near some natural light or even with an accent light shining down on it.

The typical price of this Acrylic Print runs $150 including shipping & handling. Super awesome Christmas gift, eh? I’ve actually printed a few of these acrylics from Millers and they are extremely awesome to say the least. They are a super high gloss and will really make the colors from the wave really stand out.

- Winners will be announced on December 1st, 2010.
- If you live in California, you’ll get a visit from me so I can take your photo holding the print. (If you happen to live outside of California, I’ll be shipping it straight to your house. Sorry, no PO Boxes please.)
- If you don’t want the print, sorry – you don’t get cash. Nice try.
Thanks,
Chaz

Amazing Talent Chaz!!!
Go Kings!!!
Awesome photos, and a great contest!!
chaz….. true talent man…..love your work
I contest this contest by suggesting that it’s actually a random drawing.
I know that this website is probably only a sampling of what you have shot over the years, but the quality I see here is enough to see that you are truly gifted with a camera.
“Pull deep into the pit”, if only everyone could experience this…
chaz ur amazing.
We’ve made living biological attractions so astounding that they’ll capture the imagination of the entire planet.
Chaz you’re simply the best… better than all the….
Charlie
congratulations on your iLife 11 feature! you deserve it youre amazing
Great photo. You are truly one of the young creative photographers of our time.
Chaz how do you do it? This is amazing. I love it. Your talent is a gift for god.
Chaz! As usual, your work is consistent and wonderful. I always enjoy working with you!
holy cow, this is an awesome photo. love the rest of your work on the site too.
Truly amazing! Love both Hawaiian waters and Pacific coastline.
I have bookmarked this page and look forward to more from you.
Chee pono. Love this pic, Chaz.
This shot is so incredible/surreal – I just hope the shark from Ventura doesnt pay you a visit. That would be bad, very bad. Amazing work Chaz, you have an artistic eye that’s for sure
I don’t even want to think about what you had to do to get this Chaz!
Love this shot. I tell everyone I know you guys and they don’t believe me because I’m in New York! Miss you all soooooo super much
Jake – I use a SPL Water Housing while in the water. It ends up being pretty heavy despite being one of the lighter housings on the market.
Beautiful color and texture! How did you keep the camera from getting wet? Ziplock?
Hey now, Why do you hope one of your family members don’t win???? Well I hope I do win
Great shot Chaz!
Don’t you love it when it chandeliers all over you inside a tasty barrel Aquaman, good thing you swam back out after death bomb central at the cliffs
How could I say no to this?? Perfect photo for this print!
How could I say no to this? You picked a good one for the print.
Great pics man. You do excellent work!
Well, I already had the facebook page covered, but I can never say no to a good contest, or bad ass art. Whoever wins will have a wall above all others.
Whenever you want to come shoot some waves in Newport beach when its big, come up. I’ve never had any pics of me in the water and I would love to have that sometime before I’m too old to do it anymore. Awesome work Chaz. Can’t wait to talk wedding photos with you. I want that acrylic! We could also hit up a spot in corona del mar where we can do some rock jumping!
Awesome! Hope I win!
Hey computer program that picks the winner. Ill suck your bits
This is a pretty legit personal marketing strategy chazzy, and that acrylic print looks badass.
Dude, your stuff is amazing. Lisa and I regret not coming across your wedding photos until we had already booked someone. We were looking at everything last week, so freaking good.
Now come play hockey with us.
9-3-0 18pts, best in the NHL yeaaah boiiii.

Chaz, your work is amazing!!!!! I am very proud of you and would love to display your work on my wall. So, pick meeeee!!!!
Hugs from Steph.
