Dane Peterson, balancing his way through another proper tip attack in Noosa Heads, Australia. My hat goes off to this kid. He's one of today's best noseriders for sure. Dane gave up his life in SoCal to move to Australia to be with his girlfriend Belinda Baggs. They are probably the most talented surfing duo in the world right now.

Hands down today's best female longboarder. Belinda Baggs is an absolute treat to shoot because she looks good no matter what she's doing on the board. Her posture and wave positioning are always on point and her grace and poise on the nose is unmatched.

Often stereotyped as just a "traditional" logger, Tyler Hatzikian blew away that stigma on those few days we spent at this secret left. He would noseride through the barrel in the morning and then huck fin in afternoons on his fish. Zeke is one of my favorite surfers ever. He's for real.

Love birds. This was from when we were hanging out at Dane and Belinda's house in Noosa. Thomas Campbell was tagging both of their boards so I dragged them around the side of the garage to take some goofy couple shots.

I would have to say right now Alex Knost is my favorite longboarder to shoot. Although he rips on fish boards, it's his very unique, animateed longboard style that keeps me interested. I never know what he's going to throw into the mix, His style is a crazy blend of so many surfers, both historical and contemporary. This kid has talent to burn both in the water and back on terra firma. I think Alex is going to be really famous some day. Maybe a rock star, or an actor. I don't know. Anything is possible for this kid.
