Santa Cruz goofy-footer Noah Wegrich appears to embrace all that modern surfing has to offer to a gifted, open-minded wave glider. He’s happy to hunt down an isolated knuckle of spooky-looking reef to refine his punts, or go nose-riding on micro days with the crew in town. There’s time for twinnys and various experimental craft, and his nomadic tendencies have taken him everywhere from frigid, windswept nooks where wild ponies trot the beach, to the desert-fringed reefs of WA.
Critically, Noah has teamed up with Morgan Maassen, a filmer with an eye for amplifying the distinctive elements of a surfer’s act and curating the footage in a way that creates a wonderful lightness of being.
