I explore the human limits and big wave surfing at Mavericks, as well as the harsh conditions the everyday surfer encounters in Northern California.

When the Rip Curl Pro came to town, the whole city showed up. Miguel Pupo did too!

I’m a San Francisco based freelance surf photographer. I’ve been published both in the US and internationally for his photography at Mavericks, as well as other surf photography around Northern California, and I was nominated five times in the Monster Paddle-In category for the Billabong XXL competition.

Born and raised in New York, I journeyed to California in the mid 1990s where I discovered my passion for surfing while living on the Central Coast. Combining a BFA in photography and my love for the ocean, I explore the human limits and big wave surfing with my work out at Mavericks, as well as the harsh conditions the everyday surfer encounters in Northern California.
