This is somewhere near home. I love how stoked this guy is just to see this wave. No time to waste, go snag one, bud!

This is what I love about Australia. You have your 4x4. You have your boards. Now, all you need to do is find a peak. Photo: KevinVPhotos.com

Cory Lopez was living in Dana Point for a while which was great for me. No matter how many flips and rotations guys are pulling, giant straight airs will never go out of style.

This is at home in Orange County. It’s actually the first photo of mine ever run in SURFER Magazine. Photo: KevinVPhotos.com

Dusty heckled me for the rest of this trip because I switched from shooting video to photos right before this wave. Obviously, he pulled this rodeo, but maybe this makes up for it. Photo: KevinVPhotos.com

I stayed with Dusty for a month on the Gold Coast last year, and it rained every single day. We got the most rain in 70 years or something like that. The waves ended up coming through, and we took advantage as much as possible. Photo: KevinVPhotos.com

Unknown doing the reef walk at Uluwatu. Realistically, this guy is probably grumbling about tearing up his feet for two-foot, crowded onshore surf. Photo: KevinVPhotos.com

Garut Widiarta blowing the top off one at Creek. This guy absolutely kills it, but he had to get out and warm himself on the rocks every 30 minutes because the water was too cold for him. Photo: KevinVPhotos.com

Voegtlin honed his photography skills in the natural photo study that is Southern California. He’s always looking for new ways to make shooting the same spots more interesting and always experimenting with new approaches to photography.
Since graduating from Cal State Long Beach in 2009 with an English degree, Voegtlin has set off on a hectic, but amazing travel schedule. If you’d like to view more of Kevin’s work or purchase a print, check out www.kevinvphotos.com.
