Mike Gleason GoPro POV Surf Action New Jersey – Innovative First-Person Wave Ride Photography by Ryan Struck for GoPro, Volcom & Performance Surf Brands
Immersive first-person POV surf action photograph by New Jersey-based commercial photographer and director Ryan Struck, capturing Volcom team rider and professional surfer Mike Gleason riding a wave in New Jersey with a GoPro camera mounted in his mouth for an authentic, in-the-moment perspective. This innovative image places the viewer directly in the rider's viewpoint—inside the barrel or on the face of the wave—highlighting speed, commitment, spray, textured water, and raw Atlantic energy in natural coastal lighting that conveys adrenaline, skill, and the thrill of East Coast performance surfing. Perfect for creative directors, art directors, producers, and photo researchers at high-performance agencies (e.g., Wieden+Kennedy, 72andSunny, Anomaly) and high-budget brands such as GoPro (POV/action cam campaigns), Volcom, Rip Curl, Billabong, Quiksilver, Hurley, or media like World Surf League, Surfer Magazine, The Inertia seeking cutting-edge visuals for POV campaigns, athlete tech/editorial features, wetsuit/boardshort collections, East Coast surf storytelling, branded adventure content, or high-production video stills that blend immersion, authenticity, and pro-level wave interaction.
