| VIEW FROM A BLUE MOON | 2/18 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Coming from a bodyboarding background; where shallow, pitching, often unsurfable waves are sought after, it was intriguing to work with a group of surfers who shared the same inclination. Windy, heavy, dicey waves were usually given a shot, especially when they were uncrowded. Though it looks perfect here, this wedge session was a good example. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #johnjohnflorence #viewfromabluemoon

"To the uniniated, Underwater Hockey might sound like the dystopian future of post-climate-change sports, but the sub-aquarian iteration of its colder counterpart is already more than half a century old, with teams around the world." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Excited to have two photo-essays in @victoryjournal issue 15; “Proving Grounds.” Available now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks to @shanelyons and @itstommym (pictured).

| FERVOR | 10/12 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Honey Ant, one of the most interesting foods I’ve ever had the fortune of eating.
