Jair Bortoleto

Jair Bortoleto sees the magic where others see the mundane, which is a brilliant, rare talent. His passion for surfing oozes from his photographs. He captures surfing as it is, and not in some romanticized, clichéd way. He's also a great guy, which counts for a lot." - Jamie Brisick
