Ben Currie grew up in Beachwood, New Jersey, and as child was always near the water. He began surfing at 12 years old and has been at it since. He’s now 38 years old and lives in Seaside Park, NJ, with his beautiful wife Meghan and his high-spirited two-year-old son, Noah.
While Ben has been very familiar with surfing and everything involved in it, photography was something he just picked up two years ago. He has since had numerous features in Eastern Surf Magazine, Surfline and Surfer Magazine.
He has also devoted some of his time to an Instagram account, @njsurfphotography, where he showcases the best and up-and-coming photos from the area. He also spends quite a few hours a day helping others with their photography through emails. Ben is the type of guy who would give his own shirt to a perfect stranger if they needed it.
