Dylan Gasperik

Natural Resources Defense Council

I grew up surfing and fishing in southern California, always aware but fairly dismissive of water quality issues. It wasn’t until I spent a semester off from college living and working in a leather tannery in China that I began to fathom the enormous weight of the environmental challenges facing the ocean, climate and human beings as we try not to destroy all living things. Now I work for NRDC in Santa Monica, telling the stories of the work we do for the environment (in between surf sessions,...Read more

Dylan Gordon

Photographer

Based on the Central Coast of California, I am currently 20 years old, a college grad, and unemployed with passport in my pocket and ready to go. Broke but stoked.

I’m constantly on the hunt for another exploration, a good story for the books and a new friend to share the journey. Photography is the ultimate medium for my life. I can’t even imagine doing something else, just that thought alone bum...Read more

Eddie Compo

Co-Founder, The WildLyfe

My name is Eddie Compo. I was born and bred on America’s East Coast. The Mid-Atlantic is my backyard, but I’ve resided in Virginia since birth.

Elizabeth Henlein

Writer/Surfer

I was born and bred in Kentucky but learned to live in San Francisco and I have been living in the bay area for the past decade. I come from a long line of non-surfers so I learned at a late age but this hasn't dampened my stoke. I live on the outskirts of the city so I can walk to surf Ocean Beach, where I can be seen doing dawn patrol every morning I can make it out into the lineup, complaining about how cold it is. I have a B.A. in Art and I have been penniless every since. I am a wannabe w...Read more
