Description
"These folks are colorful and resourceful and well chronicled by the very talented photographer and writer (surfer and climber, too) Jeff Johnson... In short, this is a fun book about a trip that any one of us would have been stoked to experience." -Drew Kampion, author of The Surfer's Path
About the Author
Jeff Johnson grew up in Danville, California, and moved to Hawaii as soon as he graduated high school. He lived on the North Shore of Oahu for fifteen years, where he juggled two jobs: a North Shore City and County lifeguard and an international flight attendant for a commercial airline. These two jobs provided him a unique lifestyle. As a traveler, self-taught writer and photographer, Jeff has combined these talents to chronicle his experiences. His stories and photographs have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Surfer's Journal, Alpinist, Surfer magazine, Climbing magazine, and Outside magazine. The Surfer's Journal has described him as "a piece of true grit," and someone who "doesn't back down when sketching the seamier side of the surf ghetto." Bend to Baja was his first book when it published in 2006. Jeff's second book, 180 Degrees South: Conquerors of the Useless, is a coffee table book as well as a documentary film. Jeff now resides in Santa Barbara, California, where he works full-time for Patagonia, Inc. as a staff photographer, writer, and assists with product development. He divides his time between the mountains and the ocean. His website is jeffjohnsonstories.com.
