The Treasure Coast Surfers Project: Frank Moore Captures the Faces Behind the Stoke

More Than Waves — It’s About the People

Every lineup has its legends, its quiet chargers, its sunrise regulars, and its next generation waiting for their turn. The Frank Moore Surfer Project is all about shining a light on the real heart of the Treasure Coast surf community — the surfers themselves. Through raw black-and-white portrait photography, Frank is documenting the watermen and waterwomen who make this coastline what it is, preserving moments that go far beyond the wave.

A Photographer Dedicated to Treasure Coast Surf Culture

For years, Frank Moore has been behind the lens, capturing sessions, smiles, and stories from Fort Pierce to the rest of the Treasure Coast. If you’ve spent time around North Jetty or anywhere along our stretch of coastline, chances are you’ve seen him working quietly, waiting for that authentic moment or seen his post on facebook or instagram.

His goal isn’t just to take photos — it’s to preserve the culture:

  • The surfers who show up before the sun

  • The mentors passing down knowledge to the next generation

  • The everyday locals who keep the stoke alive

These portraits strip away distractions, using classic black-and-white photography to highlight the personality, grit, and authenticity of each surfer.

Why Black & White?

In a world full of filters and fast content, Frank’s approach feels timeless. The black-and-white style focuses on emotion, expression, and story — turning each surfer into a piece of living history.

The result?
Portraits that feel raw, real, and deeply connected to the roots of surf culture.

Each shot becomes more than a photo — it becomes a legacy moment for the Treasure Coast surf scene.

Celebrating the Watermen & Waterwomen of the Treasure Coast

The Treasure Coast Surfers Project is about showcasing the people who define our waves — from lifelong locals to rising chargers finding their rhythm in the lineup.

Frank isn’t just photographing surfers… he’s:

  • Capturing friendships built in the water

  • Highlighting the diversity of our surf community

  • Preserving stories that deserve to be remembered

Because the real history of the Treasure Coast isn’t written in magazines — it’s written in the faces of the people who paddle out every day.
