Mexico: All Inclusive

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Ryan Struck

This Mexico is not the party scene of Cancun or the tourist laden ruins. In this Mexico, you can disappear and being swallowed into the heart of a giant wave is the preferred method of going missing. Whispers of kidnappings speak just loud enough that make one unsure if the palm trees’ gentle rustle is created by wind… or worry.

2011 Surf Photography Slideshow

Posted on July 10, 2011 by Ryan Struck

Pretty excited to have entered the Follow The Light Foundation photography grant even though I was not a finalist. It helped me think a lot about what Im doing and where I want to go. I thought writing the essay would be the hardest part, but looking at my slideshow again I realise the entire entry is difficult. I cannot wait to watch the final slideshows. For more info on the Follow The Light Foundation mission see thier website here: http://followthelightfoundation.org/

A Study of Light and Water

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Ryan Struck

New Jersey summer offers the possibility of pumping hurricane surf or flat spells lasting weeks. So if you are (not) shooting, try looking for new subjects, waves and different angles. If you are (not) surfing than try some yoga in between the summer swells. Or dare I say… a stand up paddle session! As always, my preference is sunset or sunrise. During this time light and liquid play off each other quite magically. My quest this summer is to shoot a perfect small wave with the colors you see below. What are you pursuing?

The Surfer’s Journal: New Jersey Article

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Ryan Struck

The current issue of The Surfer’s Journal (20.3 June-July 2011) is featuring an article by New Jersey’s Jon Coen titled Last Chance Power Drive: A New Jersey Surf Primer. The article is very well written and gives readers some depth into Jersey’s own surf history. Along with Coen’s words are a beautiful selection of photos that pulse the Garden State’s energy between the bi-monthy publication’s pages. Please stop by your local surf shop or any book store such as Barnes and Noble or Borders and buy yourself a copy. This is huge for New Jersey!

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Ryan Struck

The video below shows Dave Sincox of Aluminum Human and Generation Thirteen cranking out a new design. Though not there for the entire process, I thought it would be fun to show a bit of what Dave does and the finished product. I’m excited to have contributed a photo to inspire the design of the shirt. If you want to purchase one, your best bet would be to cruise on by the SkimBash 2011 this weekend and copp one. Other great designs from Generation Thirteen with be on sale, including ladies apparel!

Road to Recovery With Brendan Buckley and Phillip Mansfield

Posted on June 13, 2011 by Ryan Struck

Central American + Brendan Buckley usually = one swollen joint and an early trip home. This past May was no different for the Belmar New Jersey resident and bagel tosser. Recently, Phillip Mansfield caught up with Brendan to show how he is nursing an injury back to health. The resultant video is a mouse click away, below.
