Thanks for checking out my site. It is dedicated to reaching a level in my goals- surfing and living simply. Living in the jungle of Costa Rica has taught me-among many lessons- that "less is more". This has also improved my business and my photography has continued to improve. The true focus of my life has shifted greatly, and my goal of a simple, athletic existence has happily become my reality. This site is a celebration of many things, life, surfing, friends and health. Welcome to my site! (all photos are of me!)

The swell was small today, around the 2 to 3 foot mark, clean lines again today, small, fun and no one out.

Heros:  

Tony Roberts is the hero of the day. We all went surfing today, including Tony, not only can he take nice photos but also that guy can surf better than the average pro surfer, big turns and a great style to match. Good job Tony. -Shayne Allen
