December 2000 - Billy and Maggie Wilmot are the husband and wife owners and operators of the Jamnesia Surf Camp in the Bull Bay section of Kingston, Jamaica. This was for SURFER and became the first editorial photo article run in any mainstream surf magazine on Jamaica. The camp has grown exponentially since then and many a magazine and video crew have visited a enjoyed great waves there. It has been primarily through the diligence of Billy and Maggie that Jamaica is now recognized as a legitimate surf travel destination and that some of the island's young surf talent has made a mark on the international stage.

A native of New Jersey, Steve Fitzpatrick began documenting surfing in the early 80’s in an effort to shut the mouths’ of his high school classmates incredulous to his tales of spinning autumn barrels caught before school. Since then his travels have taken him far and wide to places as diverse as Indonesia and Greenland; his work has been published in most of the world’s top surf media publications both in print as well as online. With skills that range far beyond surf action, most of the industry’s top advertisers have used his imagery in advertising or hired him to execute assignments for their marketing campaigns, and he also counts many mainstream corporations among his impressive list of cliental.
