Hi, I’m Joe Curren–a photographer, art framer and surfer based in California. I am also a writer, designer, a second-generation shaper and woodworker, and a Patagonia brand ambassador.
Born in Santa Barbara and raised surfing the classic California pointbreaks of Rincon and The Ranch, I spent my younger years earning a reputation as a world-class surfer, far-flung traveler and later as a photographer, using my camera to capture profound yet often-overlooked facets of the surfing journey and beyond.
I now live in Crescent City, a small town on the north coast hemmed in by mountain ranges, “wild and scenic” rivers and Redwood National Park.
