Ben first met Hayden Peters through mutual friends, and the two have been surfing together (and occasionally collaborating on work) ever since. They became great friends mainly, says Ben, \u201cthrough our mutual love of the ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Much like Hayden, Ben has his own unique relationship with the ocean as a place for gathering perspective. We sat down with Ben and asked him to share a bit about what <em>The Coast<\/em> means to him. Here\u2019s what he had to say.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>NRS: How were you involved with The Coast?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Ben Moon:<\/strong>\u00a0Skip has been enamored with the Pacific Northwest coastline and its characters for quite a while now, and when he mentioned creating this homage to the coast I knew he would create something really beautiful. I offered a bit of feedback during the editing process and spent a couple of days with Hayden during the production, sharing some great waves and laughs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NRS: Having battled cancer at a young age, how does Hayden&#8217;s story resonate with your personal relationship with the ocean?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BM:\u00a0<\/strong>During my own battle with cancer at age 29, the ocean was an important source of perspective, and I spent as much time in and near it as I could, both in Oregon and on Kauai. After one of the many doctor\u2019s appointments, I received some unsettling news about surgeries I would need to undergo, so I drove straight to the Pacific and dove in. In my need to be immersed to rinse away the experience, I hardly noticed the numbing 50-degree water temps!<\/p>\n<p><strong>NRS: You spend a lot of time out at the coast, what does it offer you that the city and other landscapes don\u2019t?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BM:\u00a0<\/strong>Having grown up near the shores of Lake Michigan, I feel hardwired to need and appreciate the feeling of openness that happens while gazing across a majestic body of water. On the coast the weather and surf are ever changing, and the air has unique quality\u2026 there is a unique fluidity and movement found there that I cannot find elsewhere, especially not in the city. Also, when in or around the ocean you have to be tuned in and aware of your environment at all times.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5753\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5753\" style=\"width: 214px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5753 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/31185938\/Ben-Moon.png\" alt=\"Ben Moon\" width=\"214\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/31185938\/Ben-Moon.png 214w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/31185938\/Ben-Moon-36x50.png 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5753\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PHOTO: KEENAN NEWMAN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>NRS: What do you admire about Hayden?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> BM:\u00a0<\/strong>Hayden is always so positive and psyched for anything, whether it&#8217;s going for a surf, working on a film, or just to share great conversation.

The temperamental weather can be a huge asset if you keep your eyes open and work with the conditions\u2014unexpected magic is almost guaranteed to happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NRS: Can you tell us a most memorable story from a shoot on the coast?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BM:<\/strong>\u00a0In 2010, I was shooting a big wave contest at Nelscott Reef here in Oregon and the surf conditions were insane\u2014the waves were breaking around 40 to 50 feet that day. The reef is around a kilometer offshore, and the jet ski I was shooting from lost power when the driver tried to outrun the first wave of a set.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, I feel fortunate to have survived the beating from those four massive waves\u2014as well as the long swim to shore through 25-foot heaving shorebreak and rocks\u2014with only a torn MCL in my knee. By far the most intense 45 minutes of my life, it brought with it an almost involuntary calm and an acute knowledge that I simply was not in control of my fate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5754\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5754\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5754 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/31185937\/Ben3.png\" alt=\"Ben3\" width=\"580\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/31185937\/Ben3.png 580w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/31185937\/Ben3-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/31185937\/Ben3-448x300.png 448w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/31185937\/Ben3-50x33.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5754\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Ben Moon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Ben Moon is an adventure, lifestyle, and music photographer and filmmaker based in Portland, Oregon.
