Encinitas Surf Artist - Juan Flores


Beacons


Cardiff Night

Late Go Out (Swamis)

This is one of my favorite parts about this site. I got an email out of the blue from local artist and surfer Juan Flores. He stumbled onto the site and sent me these images of his work. I was really impressed.  They are fun and of course I always love art of Leucadia and Encinitas.  I really love the lineup point of view as well.  I think a lot about how beautiful our bluff line is as I wait for sets. I've always wanted to take a picture of the bluff on a good day but a) it's a good day and I'm surfing. b) You need a good long distance camera to get a good shot. These paintings are cool because it gives you that detail and color from a higher point of view which lets you see the surf and the bluff.  I dig it. Great work. You can check out more work of his at www.jfloresw.com.

Enjoy.
