Shaun Burns almost took the Cold Water Classic this year, narrowly losing to Nate Yeomans, but taking and equally impressive 2nd. Expect to see big things from this kid after he graduates this year.

I have always been fascinated by being able to freeze a moment in time. And being a photographer in Santa Cruz, California, there is no shortage of photo opportunities. California is pretty much the whole package. We have some of the most beautiful sunrises/sunsets in the world, giant Mavericks is just a short drive north, and you can find some of the world’s best surfers shredding around the dozens of rippable breaks California has to offer. This photo series features a few of my favorite shots over the past 6 months while ripping up and down the California coast.
