Despite it being wet and cold, I still really enjoy shooting when back in England, especially with guys that can still froth out even if it's freezing and onshore mush. British champ Alan Stokes is pretty good at that! Photo: Tim Borrow
My name is Tim Borrow. I am 22-years-old, I currently live in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, and I have an ever-growing obsession with photography. I grew up in a small English town called Bewdley, in the middle of the country side, at least three hours drive from any coastline. At the age of 15, I started using my dad’s simple point-and-shoot camera to document my friends skateboarding. A year later, I brought my first DSLR and spent the next three years taking pictures of skateboarding. When I was 19, I moved to the coastal city of Plymouth to study at university. It was there where my interests in surfing and the ocean began. Two years later, and I find the ocean, surfing, and the adventures they present to me are where my true passions lie. I take pictures for the simple reason that I love doing it. I forever aspire to better my own work and strive to bring my own unique view on the world of surfing and the ocean to the over-saturated industry of surf photography.
