He is one of the last fishermen in surfing-obsessed Klitm\u00f8ller, a small town on the northwest coast of Denmark.<br>Dragsb\u00e6k\u2019s love for the sea permeates his life. When asked about what fishing means to him, he often leans back and wistfully says, \u201cI can\u2019t describe it.\u201d<br>Klitm\u00f8ller has been a fishing town for generations, but when windsurfers started moving to the town in the mid-1980s, its identity began to change. Now, the population has nearly doubled, while only a handful of fishermen have remained. Dragsb\u00e6k welcomes the influx of visitors and respects the surfers\u2019 love of the sea, but recognizes that he may be one of the last to cast off from the beach that\u2019s now packed with surfers.&#8221;<br>Screen shot from &#8220;The Last Line&#8221; by Aky Ratsula and Conor Courtney<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1959,  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commarts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Communication Arts<\/a> has published the best in visual communications from around the world.
