Hi Donna, when I saw these thumbnails I thought wow, those are some excellent waves. Then I browsed through your photos and saw these were man made. I had not heard of this place although I knew there were others like it. What a great opportunity and delight to have this available to you and your daughter. Great action capture and composition! Enjoyed the others as well. #7550260

Thank you for your kind compliments Mike! I am truly blessed!
