ANDY DAVIS – SOLANA BEACH STUDIO - 2020 “I swung by Andy’s studio to have a coffee and catch up when we thought it’d be fun to take a few portraits. This was the last shot and my favorite—free-flowing, casual, relaxed, but with purpose. Andy sees the world differently, and his use of color and spacing leaves me wondering what combination he’ll dream up next.” JACK JOHNSON – SOUTH PACIFIC - 2017 “Jack and I got a call from Kelly the day before about chasing a swell to one of his favorite waves in the world. On the flight, Kelly and I were fast asleep while Jack stayed up writing down a few notes and chords for an idea he had for a song. I had my camera, snapped a photo, then grabbed my bags, and off we went. Those lyrics turned into ‘Sunsets for Somebody Else.’” SINGLE FIN - FIJI “ Joel Tudor’s single fin among the clouds and between sets on a hot and windless day.”

PAT STACEY – SEQUIOA - 2017 “One of my dear friends and an amazing surf photographer. We were in Lemoore for a shoot at the Kelly Slater Surf Ranch. He suggested we go check out Sequoia on a down day. It’s his happy place, and this was my first time there. We were just playing around, hiking, checking it all out when the fog came in, and he said he’d always wanted to skate through the redwoods.” SKIP FRYE – SHAPING ROOM - SAN DIEGO “Skip is one of our living legends that you still see gliding through the water daily. He defines style, grace, poise. He’s a true craftsman, through and through, and does it all wearing his Chuck Taylors. Skip was kind enough to open up his shaping room for a few portraits in Surfer Magazine .” KELLY SLATER – KELLY SLATER SURF RANCH - 2017 “Kelly and his team have created the most perfect man-made wave in the world. It’s wild to think that this

SEASIDE REEF – SAN DIEGO 2020 “The wave I’ve spent most of my life surfing. From walking down the street from Earl Warren Middle School with my board to Surf PE in high school to present day, it’s been a second home. When the conditions all align, you get these magic days of waves. MARK CUNNINGHAM – PIPELINE 2022 “Mark is a retired lifeguard who worked at Pipeline for nearly four decades. An incredible waterman and friend, he makes the difficult seem nearly effortless as he moves smoothly through the water. While we were in Hawaii this winter, we spent almost everyday body surfing through the reef’s little nooks and crannies.” JUSSI OKSANEN – CARDIFF 2021 “Jussi and I are always talking about chasing shadows, which is what inspired us to make this image together. Every year on Jussi’s birthday, he does a kickflip for every year spent on this earth.”

wave breaks daily like this, stoking first-time surfers and 11-time world champions.”
