Growing up dreaming of waves, it felt like every surf story I read and heard was about dawn patrol. Waking up at 4:30 am just to be in the cold water for sunrise has always had an allure that is often met with gray skies and fog banks in Northern California. However, on mornings like this one photographed, those early mornings are well worth the 10 others that were gray. The only thing left for this surfer to do is paddle their way into an empty line-up and catch a few waves before heading to work.
