Pacific Northwest. I was on a trip with Will Skudin in 2009 where we looked for new big-wave spots. We couldn’t believe our eyes when we approached this stretch of coast. This photo was in DEKKA Volume 1as well. Photo: @DerekDunfee

Editor’s Note: #My5Lineups is a new series highlighting 5 of a featured photographer’s favorite lineup shots. The eighth in the series is Derek Dunfee.

I’ve always been in pursuit of putting myself in the biggest, most challenging lineups around the world. However, after surfing places like Todos Santos, Puerto Escondido, and Maverick’s, there’s nothing like coming home to surf in my hometown of La Jolla, California. Here are a few of my favorite lineup shots from around the world.
