Tennessee is not known for its surf. And yet here, in the summer of 1971, a powder blue VW Bus sits in a parking lot just past the "Welcome to Tennessee" sign - surfboard strapped to the roof rack, colorful curtains in the windows, one guy leaning over the top making sure everything is secure before they get back on the road. Somewhere ahead of them there are waves, and that is reason enough to keep going. This is the golden age of the American road trip at its most gloriously committed - no GPS, no guaranteed swell forecast, just a split-window bus, a board, and the absolute certainty that the ocean is out there waiting. Somewhere There Are Waves is a print for everyone who has ever pointed themselves toward the water and trusted the rest to work itself out.

As with all Retrospect Studio Art prints, this image originates from a real vintage slide — and real vintage slides have lived a life. You may notice the occasional worn edge, subtle nick, or faint mark in the film. We think that's exactly as it should be. These small imperfections are the fingerprints of time, proof that this image existed long before it found its way to your wall. They are not flaws — they are part of the story.
