WHO IS SHADY RACHEL?

Is she disreputable? The sort of person who steals a man's only spoon from his soup party? An alter ego with sunglasses-at-night energy?

No. She is none of those things.

Shady Rachel is a quiet photographer and visual raconteur, an amplifier of surfing stoke, inspired by forward-thinking surfers who know the real secret in life is to, above all, have fun.

This site is where those moments end up.
West coast, east coast, mid-week sessions, questionable board decisions — all of it.

If something feels like yours, let it follow you home.
That’s it. No hard sell. Just surfing and memory-keeping.
