August 2004 - The point breaks of Central America are known to be some of the best in the world. Warm water, offshore winds, and deep, long period Southern Hemisphere swells make for a perfect recipe of world class surf.

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.
