Josh Kerr, tail-high in Nicaragua

Hey, did you know that Josh Kerr (pictured here) is in Nicaragua with Mason Ho, Zeke Lau and Chippa Wilson? He totally is. It’s the Arnette team! They’re closely scouring the coast for surf and living like kings in the downtime: “We have a mental palatial house overlooking a little left pointbreak with a team of maids and chefs working overtime for us,” says photog Tom Carey (there to document) of their current digs. “Life doesn’t get much better. Thanks Arnette.” Quite a crew, yes? Expect to see more sizzle like this tail-high from Mr Kerr in the coming days.

Tom Carey

Tom Carey is, like, 31 years young. Things may change when he’s older, but for now he ain’t shot much he digs: “I get sick of looking at stuff,” he says. “But, I guess the first remote flash shot I had run of Nate Yeomans was pretty epic. People probably wouldn’t remember. But it was a game-changer to me.” That says a lot about Tom. He does things for himself and he’s honest. Just ask him about being ripped off by the industry: “Everyone wants to skim a few dollars off you. Its not coming out of their pockets but it’s sure as hell coming out of ours.” And since he was so thrilled to answer, Stab’s gotta include Tom’s fav retired shooters: “I love this question. No one asks it anymore. Maybe Chris Van Lennep. I don’t know, the list could go on. Tony Roberts f’sure. His shots really inspired me. His angles in the water were so ahead of his time.”
