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.

Chris has always been one of my favorite surfers to watch and shoot. This year we all were bunked up at the Beschen compound and were surfing 24/7. I remember Reno being around a bunch and giving Chris this board to ride. It was a 6'1'' pintail and the rails were really foiled out. He rode this board from Sunset to Haliewa and anywhere else that was ridable. Here is Chris in the moment riding a board shaped by a revolutionary of our sport. 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.
