Based out of Puerto Escondido by way of Bristol (yes, there’s hope for us all), Mr Droog is a super splendid illustrator/artist/creative dude currently living the life of Riley two blocks away from a nice lefthand point break. Dividing time between doodling and sliding seems pretty much perfect…
Indonesia and the promise of constant swell was where I left you last. For me this trip was indeed a learning curve… that quickly developed into a circle… a circle which resembled my washing machine drum on a spin cycle!!

Hailed as this year’s hippest festival, Port Eliot is just around the corner and I’m heading to the stately home to see just how a weekend of books, comedy, music and eccentricity fits into Cornwall’s cultural landscape.

Back in April I made a trip to the Mentawai Islands, which are situated several hours West of Sumatra in Indonesia. Usually with these sort of trips I’m hellbent on getting the best possible shots I can for whichever magazine I’m shooting for and don’t get to surf much.
I would like to see myself as a traveling artist/jeweler and my goal is to be able to create anywhere in the world with and on any medium available.
Here are some old pictures I took on a little adventure to Mundaka a few years ago. I somehow managed to get my university to let me know on an “exchange” so I basically got to travel across europe from Spain to Poland. It was pretty rad but the surf wasn’t so good in the Czech Republic.

As a child I would pick up newspapers and magazines, religiously flicking from cover to cover in search of a single photograph that could describe a complex story, studying the image for some time, before turning to the accompanying text.
A winter jaunt in Celtic climes is strictly for the keen… The waves are fickle and dicey, there is no predictability, but this can add to the pleasure. Dan Crockett and Greg Welch capture moments of joy amid the chaos.

SuperHaole is an unemployed surfer and photographer based in San Clemente, CA. He has missed quite a few set waves while trying to photograph rocks, birds, kelp, or a distant peak.
