"I’m JT Moss, 18 years old, born and raised in Encinitas, San Diego. Growing up by the coast, the ocean’s been a big part of my life — I spend most of my time surfing, spear fishing, and fishing whenever I can. Being in the water has always been where I feel most centered.

Outside of that, I’ve been doing ceramics for years. Working with clay has turned into a solid outlet — it helps me slow down, focus, and put my energy into something creative. In a way, it’s a lot like surfing — both take patience, attention, and a feel for rhythm.

I like staying active, spending time outdoors, and finding new ways to create or explore."
