A Collection From Patrick “Tupat” Eichstaedt

I cut my teeth in the surf game years ago by sitting on the beach for hours video taping a young Andy Irons and Cory Lopez charge Log Cabins. Family, health, and friends are most important to me, and my school was traveling and listening to others: The School of Trial and Error.

While shooting Rocky Point, sometimes you catch yourself staring down at Pipeline, and sometimes the backlash at Pipeline is very dangerous due to the shallow reef. This shot was taken during the 2009 Pipe Masters. Reminds me off a Portuguese Man O War. Photo: Patrick Eichstaedt

I cut my teeth in the surf game years ago by sitting on the beach for hours video taping a young Andy Irons and Cory Lopez charge Log Cabins. You may have also seen me on the wrong side of the camera in “The Decline” and “5’5″ Redux.”

I was born in Miami, Florida, in 1974 and moved to New Smyrna Beach in 1976. I began working with …Lost and through opportunities there, I have imagery published all over the globe. Family, health and friends are most important to me, and my school was traveling and listening to others–The School of Trial and Error.
