Lots of post-processing here.

What do you folks think?

There might not be much "manipulation" in those photos.
They are very impressive, I expect a lot of work was put in to taking
them.
From the size of some of those waves and that some of them look like
"dumpers", you'd want to be confident that you could hang on to the
camera gear, and it would survive hitting the sand.

Not that much post.

Pushed a bit in saturation, maybe. Great stuff (and I've seen most of
these before).

After a while I got sea-sick, then I thought of Thomas Kincaid.
Good otherwise, though, and if it puts food on your family, who am I to complain?

Interesting to look at...for about 2 minutes, then you realize the
boring repetition it represents.

I did not look at the photo, but the amount and type of image
processing is part of todays digital art. Just like a oil paitner may
choose a very relalistic view, another may choose a very different
view.

This is a question of art and each of us will see and filter
what we see based on our personal experiences and preferences.

Yes, boring after a bit, but a couple of those images are amazing.

I wonder if he used also 3d graphics, considering the photo realistic
capabilities of latest software.

I've seen 3d works more realistic than average real photos.

I guess he used a mix of real and 3d.

Well, if anyone bothered to look a little beyond the posted link, they
would've found this:

As well as pictures and video, there are words there which explain something
about the photographer and his technique.
Here's what he uses:

Maybe there is too much manipulation, and maybe there isn't,
but I will allow it... 8^)

Nobody objected to the post-processing. Interesting. I see a paradigm
shift here.

That's what I thought ... that they were a combination of photography and
synthetic 3D modeling.

Most of those have little or no manipulation.
