It’s hard to be a polarizing figure when everyone loves you…no matter what you say. And say it he will! New conversation with @jimmicane is out now.
The photographer and hot take machine gives a surf culture scene report: the death of surf photography, wave pools, double grabs, why John John Florence doesn’t get enough credit.
Read all about it at the link in bio.
Hard to believe it’s already been a month since the @WSL top 5 men and women lit up our shores in an unforgettable showdown for the 2025 world title. Relive the island’s energy with fresh highlights from the very first #FinalsFiji

“I don’t really have much to say about myself except I’m old enough to have submitted slides directly to Flame when I was in high school, and I’ve been a part of FTL since the beginning when I had just started at Surfing Magazine, working under Pete Taras and Evan Slater.” - Jimmy Wilson / @jimmicane
I feel so fortunate for having an opportunity to document all five years of the @wsl Finals after missing out on World Title moments during my Surfing Magazine editor years. So much admiration and respect for all the surfers and their teams allowing me to capture everything.
Special thanks to @jonroseman , @kaeo.dechape , @jessica.dechape and the entire @tavaruaislandresort family for welcoming me in the past couple weeks. To @stab and @unholypotato for trusting in me to cover this event. And a massive congratulations to @picklummolly and @yagodora !
I’m thinking about some way to encapsulate all of it and maybe do a photo show or book with the best moments. Surfing history 📖
Funny how I can’t multitask anything else in life, but I can FaceTime @dylangraves while simultaneously filming @michaeldunphy on a screamer. This edit is up on Dunphy’s YouTube for anyone who didn’t have Stab Premium.
The first trip I did with @michaeldunphy was nearly 18 years ago. We’ve been properly skunked several times since. Can’t blame him for questioning my duct-tape style forecasting but glad he trusted me on this one.
Once his plane engine is replaced, we’ll be back out there checking off spots on the lifelong pursuit of island hopping. Shout out to a few friends I can’t tag here but are absolute core lords. Couldn’t have pulled this off without you guys 🙌
This already did the rounds, but too good not to post. Today will be remembered (for me at least) as the day @hughievaughan ended double grabs forever 🥹
Thank you Hughie, @thenines.cc , and @swatch !
If you pull up and see empty waves like this and can still formulate complex sentences, you’re doing it wrong.
@michaeldunphy and @jimmicane scored somewhere, kinda-semi-recently-ish (maybe). The edit drops on Thursday. Stay tuned.
