Encinitas, California, is a surfer’s paradise — though I didn’t fully appreciate that when I first arrived.

Encinitas is home to icons like Eddie Vedder, Tony Hawk, and Emily Ratajkowski, who all grew up here. Over time, I’ve had the privilege of capturing some of my favorite moments along its coastline. Below are a few standout images from my collection.
