Between Sun and Sea

A surfer at low light off Morro Bay on California's central coast. The water here rarely climbs above 60°F — even in August, the cold California Current and persistent northerly upwelling keep it cold, and locals are in 4/3 wetsuits year-round. It's a quieter stretch than the breaks south of Point Conception: fewer crowds, fewer cameras, more committed water time. Jeremy stripped the frame to its essentials — silhouette, sun, water — and held it for the moment the surfer dropped into the line between them.
