One That Got Away

My favorite watershot out in the surfzone last Saturday. I kept out of the surfers' way, but I enjoyed the breaking waves just as much in my own fashion. I was free diving amidst some good energy, and even after an hour I was just beginning to get cold.

Apparently, I'd missed the ground swell and had to make due with mere wind swell. "You should have been here earlier . . . ." Actually, I chatted with one local who had good things to share about the currents and conditions. I appreciated that and how he was encouraging his daughter in her surfing.

Classic shots capture the approaching wave, but I like watching the back of a wave too.
