Beach break. Way up here, there is a ton of it and, generally speaking, it is usually the only option. On days like this, you could paddle out just about anywhere and find a peak doing it’s best Ocean Beach impression. And, like their distant cousin to the south, the paddle out and currents are quite daunting. 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.
