Lensman Mo Lelii has been shooting photos and videos in St. Pete since he picked up a camera at 14 years old. As one of only a few people that shoot sports in the area, he’s stoked to show the unique water world of St. Pete though his lens. It’s a community that loves kiteboarding, foiling, and surfing all the same.
