Hawaii is famous for its surfing - and two daredevil photographers have captured these dramatic images of the waves that make the Pacific islands a surfer's paradise.

Rather than trying to ride the waves, snappers Nick Selway and CJ Kale wanted to share them with others in the form of photos.

Taken at different times of day in the barrel of the breaking waves, the sea is a kaleidoscope of colours.

The blues and greens of the ocean mingle with the oranges and purples created by the sunlight, particularly at dawn and dusk.

Nick, 28, and CJ, 35, took the pictures from in the water, capturing a split-second when the wave is breaking.

CJ said: "It's such a beautiful island - all the different colours seemed to be replicated in the water while we were snapping away.

"We spend most of our time in the water photographing, but to get these kinds of shows isn't easy and it takes a lot of patience to get it right.

"Fortunately it paid off this time and we managed to get an amazing set of images."
