“I sat down with Ashleigh Yob on a warm morning in August, after a surf with the most balanced gender ratio I’d ever seen in the lineup. Ashleigh is an ex-professional surfer, surf coach, self-declared surf bum and English native. She’s been gaining a following recently as the eye behind San Diego Surf Photos, photographing average Janes and Joes surfing their local breaks in San Diego County. Ashleigh had called together a ‘Ladies on Longboards’ session, where she’d announced she would only photograph women surfing longboards.” - Oriana Poindexter
