This collection of photos spans the last year and a half of my life up and down the California coast . I’ve always wanted to capture what I was seeing out in the water surfing, and a camera housing was the perfect thing for that. Being in the action in the barrel is the best place in world, and that’s exactly where I want to be with my camera.
