The O’neil Eastcoast Grom Tour came to Jacksonville Beach yesterday. It was it’s second stop along the east coast this year. First being in Melbourne, Florida earlier in 2019. It started at 8am at the Jacksonville Beach Pier. The conditions were kind of fun looking, but the fog was super dense. It was hard to get photos, since my camera didn’t focus very well in the fog. I went up to the pier and tried shooting from there and that was difficult as well. The fog started to clear and I came back down to the beach and shot (Where I shot the rest of the event). The fog came and went, on and off, all day long. It was such a fun event and there was so much talent there. Below are some of the pictures I took from the event. I took around 2000 pictures from the event so below are some of the best shots from the day. Enjoy 🙂
