31st Dino Tournament

31 Years of Aloha, Competition, and Community

Each year, the sands of Hawaii welcome back a special tradition, one that’s been going strong for over three decades.

This tournament isn’t just about the wins and losses; it’s about the people who return year after year, the friendships that have stood the test of time, and the unforgettable memories made on and off the court.

The tournament brings together seasoned players who know the game inside and out, competing on the classic big court that keeps the rallies long and the action exciting. There’s a rhythm to it—a mix of experience, strategy, and heart that you just don’t find anywhere else.

Here are a few of my favorite captures from this year’s tournament. Scroll down for links to the full gallery and relive the plays and laughters of this years tournament

A special thanks to David, Stephanie, Zack, and Jess for another incredible event. Huge thanks to all the people behind the scenes that make this tournament so fun.

30th year of the Dino Tournament

As the 30th year of the Dino tournament draws to a close, I reflect on the unmatched intensity of this year's competition. With five Olympians and a diverse pool of talented athletes, the energy on the courts was electric. Despite battling rain and heat, we pushed ourselves to new limits, united by our determination and camaraderie. Meanwhile, as a photographer, capturing the raw emotion and athleticism was a thrill. Each shot freezes the electric energy fueled by these remarkable athletes. Join me on a visual journey through the highlights, where every frame tells a story of passion and love of the game.

As always David, Stephanie, Zack, and Jess put on another incredible event that will live in our hearts for ages to come. Huge thanks to all the people behind the scenes that make this tournament so fun.

Fonz!!!! you the man!!!!! Love you brother.

The Dino Tournament 2022

When I first arrived in Hawaii I was in awe of its beauty. The lush green forest and the picturesque beaches with waves for days. But it truly is the people that I met that won my heart. Here is a Link to the photos I shot at my first Dino Tournament. Big thanks to Mango for getting me there and for giving me a spot to crash for the event and for David and Stephanie for running a smooth event from start to finish.

David, Phil, Fonz.

At the end of the tournament they have the awards and they gave out two Aloha spirit awards, I was blessed with one of them. This award means more to me that if i had won the Tournament. It will go in my room with my other special things I have collected from big moments in my life. Good and bad. This one is a Great one.

Fonz is the man!!!! so glad I got to spend some quality time with this due!!!!
