jazz

Got to tag along with a guy who knows how to navigate the old logging and forest service roads around Port Angeles. He shreds through the conifers on his dirt bike doing wheelies in fourth gear, takes a break at an old hunting cabin, and boosts some stylish airs on "small" jumps. Can't wait to see the big ones. Jazz the ripper.

mogley

Mogley lives with his wife in a cabin on some land just west of Joyce. Often times he can be found at twin river beach picking up rocks, rescuing fossils, and looking for hitches to town. A true ambassador of the beach, all smiles, all the time. Today was his barter day, six pounds of coffee for who knows what.

fridays

Early morning fridays lead to empty roads and empty longboard waves.

elwha river restoration project

Working on the Elwha River is a privilege. It's one of the most ground breaking dam removal and river restoration projects in America.
I just put plants in the ground and enjoy the view. Save the salmon.

Frosty day for trail building.

Lake Mills, Lake Aldwell.

Tools of the trade.

The commute.

Old trees.

The valley is humbling.

Jake likes muddy boots.

Sam likes his morning break out of the rain.

The old waterline.

Lake Mills dam under deconstruction.

winter surf

Surfing Washington in the winter involves many things. Long drives on the 101, checking out big trees, and plenty of ding repair. After consuming a certain amount of glassy waves and ridiculous scenery with your closest friends, the days begin to blur together like forgetting to focus a frame with a rangefinder. It's as good a reason as any to shoot a few photos.

Unknown cover-up at Hobuck Beach.

A good place to look for a wave.

Rock baseball, waiting for the push, Rialto Beach.

Big Cedar.

A Hemel dinger.

There is low wind and there is no wind.

Getting a grip for the hike.

Hello, Canada.

Get on it.

Port Angeles.

Hangin' with the boys.

A good reason to stay.
