Joe Curren is a photographer, art framer and surfer based in California. He is also a writer, designer, a second generation shaper and woodworker, and a Patagonia brand ambassador. Born in Santa Barbara and raised surfing the classic California point breaks of Rincon and The Ranch, Joe spent his younger years earning a reputation as a world class surfer, far-flung traveler and later as a photographer, using his camera to capture profound yet often-overlooked facets of the surfing journey and beyond. Joe now lives in Crescent City, a small town on the north coast hemmed in by mountain ranges, “wild and scenic” rivers and Redwood National Park.
