Love his hair in this shot. Makes it look like he's scared, which I'm sure he is not.

Excellent lighting and timing. Did he make it? #324392

Thanks Kevin!

He sure did and he even added some spinning-flipping moves at the end. This kid was an awesome athlete.

Amazing capture, and I love the wide crop! I sooo wish we had waves that size around here, so I could try to get some surfing shots. Or for that matter, try surfing myself! Look so fun! :)) #1938934

Nice shot, Erica! I'll bet this was Friday morning? #1939125

Thanks Robert! It was Friday morning. I took your tip and it was really fun. Only about 4-6 guys out though and there were hundreds at HB Pier. These guys were so talented though and I'll take them over the geriatric long boarders at HB any day. Many thanks for the tip and inspiring me to go there.
