This is Peter Devries at a spot where if it's good and the wind is the right direction, it's pissing rain. Generally you cant even see the mountains, so I'm really happy that we were able to make this image. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

I was on my way back to the car to get suited up, when I turned around and saw Peter take off on this wave. I haven't seen this spot like this in 4 years. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

Peter Devries sprained his ankle really badly a week before this day, and had to surf with an ankle brace. Luckily, there were only barrels and he just had to go straight. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

This wave is on the East Coast of Canada. I'd been trying to score here for a couple years now, and finally we did. The only problem was everyone was hurt, or had the wrong boards with them. Until next time... Photo: Jeremy Koreski

I love fishing. For this image, I had my camera in a water housing so I could shoot both under and over the water. I’d love to get this same image with a 20-pound steelhead. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

This is at a river that is only accessible by boat or plane. We flew into a lake via float plane and drifted down the river in a rubber raft. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

I took this lineup shot on the East Coast of Canada a couple of years ago. This was a tough morning for me. After a redeye flight from Vancouver with 3 hours of sleep, I jumped in a rental car and met Nico Manos at 7am at this spot. The water was hovering around 32F, and as I was scrambling down the rocks, a set came and sent me around a jetty on the inside. I pulled myself out and walked up to the point for another try. Shooting in the water this day was one of the coldest days of my life. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

When I am shooting surfing there is always other things going on around me. I saw this eagle land in a tree, and was lucky enough to capture him taking off. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

This is Balaram Stack on a recent trip to Canada. We were filming for the Quiksilver Cypher Challenge. Balaram got some insane waves and clips at this spot. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

In Tofino, we have a few really snowy days during the year. This is Raph Bruhwiler at one of the local beaches. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

The East Coast of Canada is damn cold. After getting changed in the basement of a friend's house, Peter Devries headed out for a surf. Air temp: -20C, water temp: 0C. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

The East Coast of Canada is a beautiful place, but the waves aren't very consistent. We were lucky on this trip that we had multiple days of swell. This is my good friend Nico Manos. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

Most people assume this image is a double exposure. It's not. I took this image while sitting on my floathouse looking down at a school of herring. The trees you see reflected at the bottom are from the island next to the house. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

For this image of Peter Devries doing a frontside air, we stitched together eight images to create a sequence look. It was one of my entries in the RedBull Illume contest. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

My friends and I spend a lot of time in the winter camping on the coast of Vancouver Island, shooting photos and looking for waves. This black bear was walking along the rocks in front of our camp one morning, looking for food. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

My friend Ian Battrick comes to Canada each fall to camp with Timmy Turner. This is Ian heading back to camp after a full day of surfing. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

Raph Bruhwiler on a wave that he helped find. This spot breaks a lot in the winter time, but you need low pressure for offshore winds. That means a lot of rainy days here. Photo: Jeremy Koreski

This is Peter Devries at a tough-to-find spot. Quite often you’ll walk by a bear or two on your way here. Photo: Jeremy Koreski
