The CSC Ohana
Cleveland Surf Co. is all about community, the essence of which is beautifully captured in the Hawaiian word ‘ohana.’
Ohana embodies the concept of a larger family that goes beyond blood. This means that your ohana can include your best friends, neighbors, or anyone else who is special in your life.
With that in mind, we are proud to be connected to these local artisans, surfers, and all around salt-of-the-earth individuals. They represent the best of what Cleveland has to offer.
Eric Lammers
By day, Eric serves as a technical services manager, providing services to school districts across Ohio. But when not in the classroom, you can find Eric pursuing his other passion: capturing the simple beauty that exists along Ohio’s north coast.
Photography means many things to many people and you will quickly recognize that Eric’s interest lies along the lines of landscape, nature and cityscape - oftentimes culminating in capturing the combination all three!
Born and raised in Ohio, Eric currently resides along the shores of our great lake in Lakewood with his wife and two children where he works to capture and promote this amazing area he calls home.

Alex Farmer
If you’ve ever driven through the city of Cleveland, you’ve probably seen Alex posted up with his camera snapping photos. If you need a specific shot of the city skyline, he’s probably got it.
What started off as just a fun hobby has quickly turned into a passion. Alex travels around the country taking photos of cityscapes and architecture for various digital and print media, but his heart will always be in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. With a primary focus on street and landscape photography, Alex is always looking for new and unique ways to capture and promote the natural beauty of the Northeast Ohio area.
Photography isn’t so much about capturing a moment; it’s about conveying the feeling you had when you took the photo.

“If you used to surf... You never did."
- Stevie D.
Stevie started surfing when he was 11, and since then there was no going back.
Being addicted to surf means that he is ready to go no matter what. All you can do is make the most of what you’ve got!
So if that means, braving the cold elements of Lake Erie, then it’s on 🤙

GinaMarie Presti
I have been taking pictures since I was little. Mostly disposables that my godfather bought me for special occasions until I was old enough to afford a real camera. I started to take photography seriously a few years ago. I would spend sunrises and sunsets at Edgewater as a form of self-care. It's still my favorite spot :) Last year I entered my first art show, thanks to Sara Cifani, and I have been printing my work ever since.
I like to capture the moments that make me scream for joy. Yes, I actually scream. The waves crashing, light trails at night, a stunning sunrise; those are the things I live for. Well, that and ice cream. Photography has helped me get to know so many amazing people and showed me all of the beauty Cleveland has to offer.
