Photography is a great tool for me while documenting our fisheries and ocean research programs and collaboration with anglers around the world, but when waves march into your local break I focus on capturing the sport of surfing.  The galleries below represent low resolution images with no post-processing aside from cropping.  If you like an image and would like the high-resolution jpeg for printing or archive purposes, send me an email at wess@beyondourshores.org.  Stay Stoked!  –       Wess Merten.
