Nazaré is the most challenging place to shoot from the water, even on a ski. Cleanup sets are constant and unpredictable. I never feel safe.” we run up the coast looking for surf in the Travel Advisory Level 4 zone of Sinaloa, offer a retrospective on Jimmy Metyko’s captures of Santa Barbara’s 1980s “progression era”, and trek across volcanic rock to find empty pointbreaks in the Eastern Atlantic.
