More Mentawais

Here’s a few more select shots from latest trip in the Mentawais. The surfer in two of the images is named Phil Goodrich. I’ve been wondering who this man was for years now, he always seems to be a permanent fixture at Lances Right, he’s that unmistakeable guy that’s always there. An incredibly smooth surfer, I came to find that he’s also a quite talented artist as his girlfriend recently contacted me after seeing one of my blogposts featuring an image of Phil. I’ve always known that the surf world is small, but it seems to me it seems to be getting smaller and smaller.

I’ve attached a link to Phil’s artwork site, as I found his creations to be quite thought provocative. It’s definitely worth a look. philgoodrich.imagekind.com

More images and prints on the Blue Room Collection coming soon.
