Surf Photography by Trevor Povah captures Cayucos Collective co-founder in SLO Life Magazine
SLO Life Magazine recently contacted friend Trevor Povah and asked if he had any surf photography layin’ around they could use for their upcoming issue. He reached deep into his archives and retrieved an age old photo of Cayucos Collective co-founder Anthony Circosta “executing a hard cutback”, according to the piece. Thanks Trevor for floating around out there for hours on end that Fall day to capture this millisecond of our microcosmic paradise here in Cayucos.
Surf Photography is a thing of the past for Trevor Povah as he recently refocused his efforts in the more lucrative field of architecture…boo. Come back and snap some more shots of the boys, guy! Thanks again to both SLO Life Magazine and Trevor Povah for supporting us at the Cayucos Collective.
Excerpt from SLO Life Magazine:
In 2008 local photgrapher, Trevor Povah, filmed and produced a documentary called “Lost in the Middle” which explored local surf culture by profiling eight Central Coast surfers. Povah explains that the surfers in our area are a different breed who are “self-reliant and understand our ocean with its fickle breaks cold weather, and ‘sharky’ waters.” Here Povah captures his friend and felllow surfer, Anthony Circsta, in Cayucos executing a hard cutback on a perfect spring day with “just the right amount of offshore wind to help give the wave a nice shape.” Povah swam around in a wetsuit and a pair of fins for nearly two hours with his Canon 1D Mark II N, which was concealed in a water proof plastic housing to get the shot that you see here. Povah, who has since moved on from movie making, says that “video editing just destroyed my mind, and I couldn’t imagine doing that for a career. ” Today, he can be found shooting landscape and architectural photos for his real estate clients while still making time to surf as often as possible.
