SURFING’s photo team is ichiban number one on planet earth, but thousands of their images go unseen. This travesty shall not stand. We give you SURFING’s Five Photos series.
“All these images are shot with a Mark III and a Canon 70-200 2.8L lens. All in California. It’s what I do. I’m a Photo Editor first and a photographer second. I fill the photo gaps. I do the things that I don’t think my senior photographers will do (which isn’t much) or I cover areas where we don’t have senior photographers. Here’s some outtakes from this winter and summer. Nothing amazing. Just 5 photos. So take it as it.”

Pete’s way too humble. These photos are epic.
That Ventura wave looks like mini Pipe, so perfect… Nice work Pete
Pete is so radical. Great work here. I can’t wait for California in the fall.
The one in LA is sick, my uncle lives in P.V(hill in the background i believe) . lucky son of a gun.
And the ‘blacks’ is just the way i imagin blacks to be.
Winter shot of The OC (HB north end) captured it perfectly.
