Squid Force

Squidforce! welcomes the legendary Jack Ryan to our virtual pages.

For those of you who don’t know, Jack is one of the top surf photogs from these parts. His work is regularly featured in ESM and he is responsible for the now defunct “Surfing the Garden State” calender.

In addition to surf photography, Jack shoots family portraits, weddings, sporting events, you name it.

To hire Jack, or if you’ve got a sweet apartment for rent, please drop him a line at jackryanphoto@gmail.com. (He prefers ocean front, but will consider any and all offers:)

Judging by the imagery, Shayne Boyle and his brother-in-law Chris Carhart scored near epic conditions at an overpublicized inlet in Northern Ocean County during a recent run of North swell.

Look for more ripping from Jack, Shayne and Chris as the spring season progresses. It’s gunna be a WHOPPER!

In this day and age of overblown media stereotypes, it is most certainly refreshing to find a legitimate and culturally sensitive depiction of the two very distinct surfing lifestyles that embody the East and West Coast surfing tribes. While focusing on the New Jersey and California surfing contingents, I think it’s safe to say that one could extrapolate both parallel coastlines of this great nation from these two representative groups. Without further ado, I give you a fine ethnographic depiction of the sport we all love so:

A few times a year conditions come together and make New Jersey a great place to go surfing.

A long period south swell, offshore winds, warm water, warmer air and “Rock Star” lighting made the surfing and the pictures epic.

Thanks Joanne.
