The last autumn swell
A weekend of pumping surf in North Devon was a nice way to say goodbye to the autumn of 2018. So stoked to get this one (below) published in Carve Magazine as a double page spread, the point at Main beach firing. (Issue 192 btw). XT-3 w/ 16-55mm & 100-400mm Just got back from […]
