Chris was born in Long Beach, CA and grew up surfing the warm waters of Ray Bay. Rich Harbour was a major photographic mentor and encouraged Sardelis to pursue photography more seriously. As a neophyte shooter, Chris borrowed equipment freely from such stellar associates as Arthur Jennings Brewer, Flame, and Hoover. He was even mentored by the legendary Warren Bolster. Artist Enzia Farrell provided further aesthetic tutelage. Soon he was a working surf shooter with a firm grasp of the technical aspects and sophisticated composition.
