Maybe it’s somewhere you need to go. A different way of life you yearn to live. Or simply the need to fight for what’s right. Elijah Burton defied convention to find his own independent path.
Where will yours take you?

WHEN ELIJAH BURTON WAS A YOUNG BOY GROWING UP IN NEW JERSEY, HE HAD AN INDELIBLE OCEAN EXPERIENCE THAT MADE HIM FEEL TINY AND HELPLESS, ENMESHED WITH THE LARGER FORCES OF NATURE IN A WAY THAT LEFT HIM TERRIFIED.

He was a strong swimmer, but found himself caught in a rip current, watching the shore and his family recede far out of reach. He realized he’d never been so far from the beach. “The ocean is the thing that I'm the most afraid of,” said Burton. “But it holds the thing that I love so much. If you work with the ocean, it gives you what you desire.”
