Surf's up! Left or right? Looks like the left is pretty good!

Heheh, sounds like the kind of place that will have you washing sand out of your ears for a couple days, if you can stand the cold water that is! I think I'd stick to the shore and take pictures!
Just looked at the shot again, I like it more and more every time! Something really cool about B&W photos, and there are some great contrasts in these two pics.

Thank you...I'll brave the cold (mid 60's is cold as I'll go) if the waves are cool (for bodysurfing). I really like the disposables, but there's always an element of surprise- I think the pic is larger than what's framed. I hate shorebreaks like that because they're really dangerous, & sometimes I get really bored, & when I'm really bored, I can be a little stupid. Give me a nice off shore sandbar that dumps into a trough (waist deep, or deeper, for cushion) and I'm a happy camper

There is a simplicity to this which I love (I'm a sucker for simplicity), but it has enough interest with the patterns in the sand and the huge wave - and the obvious enjoyment of the people - to hold my attention.

thank you...I love the ocean...the whole week I never went in- I was feeling pissy about the weather & the crappy shore-break- but I noticed other people having fun so I went for a walk & got some shots- had fun despite myself!

look at that beautiful wave. It really comes to wash everyone away. Great capture. Oh sea, come and wash my sins away. As it will

Another good photo. You can almost see the panic that the bathers might be feeling.
