The Scuttlefish

Scuttlefish writer Owen James Burke is currently rambling around New Zealand, living in a house truck with a camera, surfboard and speargun in search of stories, waves and fish. We’re putting together a waterperson’s guide to the island nation, but meanwhile, we’ll be publishing stories and photographs, short updates along the way from the Yankee in Kiwiland. -CD

Whether you’ve been up all night or you’re out on dawn patrol, watching the sun come up over the sea is never a sorry sight, is it?
