Night time Stand Up Paddling with Vanina Walsh

Vanina Walsh charign Waikiki at night
It's amazing the lengths Vanina Walsh has to go to in order to keep the snapping photographers away! The Roxy model/Stand Up Paddling professional was snapped during a night session at Waikiki, Hawaii earlier this week. 

Paddling at night has it's own unique set of challenges, but surfing one of the worlds most iconic breaks at night is even harder. Lucky the girl knows Waikiki inside out, and that there was a few photographers in the water as shark bait. 

She's not just a pretty face either, she's been training hard between school, work as a model for Roxy and her part time job as an artist. It's all lead to some pretty impressive competition results over the last few months, maybe she'll be in line to be the next Candice Appelby? 

At least she's keen! Waikiki has a pretty hefty reef lurking in various places, so she did well to surf it at night!
