Surf Tribe

Photographer, Stephan Vanfleteren, captures surfers across the world in this collection of stunning black and white portraits. Surf Tribe goes beyond the waves and takes a deeper look at the faces behind the competitive sport; from legendary icons to gifted youngsters. This series of images embodies the emotion of surf culture: the appreciation of the ocean and the respect to the waves, the passion for the surf.

Each portrait coincides with Vanfleteren’s signature style; serene yet haunting. With more than 300 portraits of, among others, Kelly Slater, Gerry Lopez, John John Florence, Laird Hamilton, Bethany Hamilton, Greg Noll, Stephanie Gilmore, and Jack Freestone.
