Creed McTaggart, ass-claps fins, Lowers

We may have the appearance of lonely old male librarians, but we do surf! Now let’s talk photo. “Creed came over to California for a few months this summer for some media obligations and to hangout with friends,” says Quinn. “This was one of the first days of his trip and he lucked into the biggest swell of the summer. Lowers was maxing out and most of the crowd was struggling to stay in the zone with a decent current running through the lineup and the clean-up sets about double overhead. Creed picked off most of the cleaner sets a couple feet overhead. He’d then go to town tearing apart the face and hucking some wild fin-claps and laybacks. He surfed for about four hours before coming in to walk up the long trail and go eat a oversized hamburger in San Clemente.”
