Greg Swanson whipping his 8’8” Almond Surfboard on a fun one. It amazes me that he will not surf for a month or two due to work/school, then hop on his board and pull off a turn like this one. He’s one talented guy. Photo: Alex Swanson

I got into photography because I wanted to capture my friends and all the fun things we were doing while growing up. It, in turn, has started many new friendships. With surf photography, I try to capture the surf culture through individuals and what they’re doing at that moment.
