Being above California, one would think the coastline of the Pacific Northwest would be just as littered with waves. Not so. Residents of Northern California, Oregon and Washington will tell you that they pretty much got screwed by the surf Gods. The few gems are heavily localized and fickle to say the least. This wave, however, regulates itself. Photo: Mark McInnis
A portrait of the artist. Mark McInnis.
Mark McInnis was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and as a result has an unparalleled affinity for cold water. Between can collecting and panhandling, Mark puts about 25,000 miles a year on his rig in search of the perfect shot, which may end up being captured on film more often than in digital form. When not drinking red wine, watching sunrises, eating hippy food, or sleeping in sandy beds, you can find him surfing all alone on a peak way off the beaten path. On a side note, Mark is not fond of traffic, people, beets, or mini corn.
