Henry has been involved with WAVES programs since the beginning. In 2008, he was only 13 when he stated attending surf classes on the beach with his boogie board under his arm. With his natural talent (and small size at the time) he would actually stand on the body board. With a surfboard under his feel he is a natural and now a ripper.
During the filming of CAPTURE: A WAVES Documentary he discovered his passion for photography. The non-traditional education provided by WAVES and the various skilled volunteers visiting Lobitos have propelled Henry into a social enterprise. A portion of surf photography sales go to him, a portion go to his educational/career fund savings and a portion to WAVES for use of the equipment and to support further programming.
Here’s a short video of Henry in chicama (in Spanish):
