Chris Ward - Hurricane Sandy. All I can say about this swell is I'll probably never see anything like it again, I was totally unprepared for such a historical event. I was I could go back in time. I'm yet to see a photo that did this swell justice. Palm Beach, FL . Photo: Patrick Ruddy

What better place to be a surf photographer than right here in America? We’re home to some of the best beach and point breaks in the world. We have everything from the surf city USA to remote Outer Banks sand bars. I’ve always put myself in somewhat of grey area when it comes to “East vs West,” because honestly, who cares? Not me! I love living in America, I love being a photographer in America, and I love traveling through this rad country I’m proud to call home. In this photo installment, you’ll see a series of my work through the years. Thank you everyone who’s helped me along the way! And thank you, ‘Merica!
