Ryan Lovelace at Glide Surf Co's glassing and shaping studio, The Heavens. This photograph was taken with black and white 35mm film. Black and white film is timeless, something that lends itself well to Ryan’s style of shaping. Noticeable dust marks were left unedited on the photos to recreate the feeling of the foam filled shaping bay. Hard working and driven, Ryan shaped some 50 boards during his 11 day visit to NJ. – Tim Leopold

"That’s what it feels like sometimes surfing in Southern California. It’s pretty rare to catch a good day with only a few people out. In fact, it can be tough to catch a bad day with only a few people out." Ramsey Dau is a Los Angeles-based artist and designer. He describes his creative process as “editing ” – taking the things that resonate with him, both positively and negatively, storing them in his brain, on post-its, and in notebooks, until they one day join together and come out on canvas or paper. Ramsey's poster is available for purchase here.
