Here are some limited editions posters I just released that will only be available through my website.

I picked two surf images for these posters, one a lineup of Rincon, California and the other a lineup from Southeastern Taiwan. I took both of them with a Hasselblad Xpan panoramic film camera. They are signed and numbered, with a limited edition of 100.

If you are interested in purchasing one you can email me: Joe@JoeCurrenPhotography.com. Or you can find a link to purchase them through Paypal in the shop section of my portfolio:

This spread is in the latest Surfer’s Journal. The big shot was taken at Rincon by Mike Kew. It’s featured in a story written by Richard Kenvin about the mini Simmons replicas he’s making for his new film Hydrodynamica. The boards look funny but they are really good to ride. They do the best bottom turns ever…

Skip Frye came up to Santa Babara recently. This is his 50th year of surfing and he said he wanted to kick it off by spending a week at Rincon, his favorite wave. Andrew Kidman was also in town and had the to idea to give Skip a “birthday” cake and surprise him with it at the local sushi restaurant. So my wife made Skippy this yummy carrot cake and we gave it to him. He was really surprised and said it was his best Rincon trip ever.

In early December a big swell hit Santa Barbara and the entire state decided to come here for a surf. Sandspit was too crowded and inconsistent. I thought that the bottom of the cove at Rincon was the best spot on this swell. This was the first real swell of the year so all of the sand that had built up over summer was still intact. People were kicking out of waves that would double up and reform into big sandy barrels. It reminded me of old school big groyne Kirra in Australia. Richard Kenvin came up from San Diego with a couple of his Simms fishes. They are designed after the original Bob Simmons twin fin that he made in the ’50’s. He is working on a film called Hydrodynamica which details Simmons history and the evolution of the fish design. Here’s a couple shots of me on the Sims fish. Both shots are of the same wave
