The Pacific Province


Cold water and tall trees, you say? I’m all in! I was invited to The Pacific Province by Ben Gulliver to shoot photographs alongside his filming of The Seawolf, his cold-water, high performance, surfing masterpiece. If you couldn’t tell from the images above, let me tell you: We kinda scored.

Surfers: Pete Devries, Noah Cohen, Noah Wegrich, Cam Richards, Josh Mulcoy. 

Placement: Assets from this trip were used commercially by Vissla, editorially in The Surfer’s Journal and the trip as a whole won Surfline’s annual TripWire competition for 2017 which you can see HERE.
