In the Line Up, Saunton Sands, North Devon

Sun, sea, sky, surfboard, and (of course) surf - it doesn't get much better.

Sweet shot!

cracking shot..Our Devon aint so bad is it

Oh this reminds me of miss spent days. Surfing off Croyde. Although in mid January it can be a tad chilly. Much prefer the coast of OZ with the sea at 26C

peter i would rather have 17 degrees and NO sharks lol

This shot was taken in October, round about the time you switch from the summer wetsuit to the winter wetsuit. Still a whole lot warmer than the North Sea though.

Ah what's a 2.44mtr Tiger shark between friends? Makes you paddle faster to catch those 3.6mtr perfect breaks:)

laughingmackerel: Re "Our Devon ain't so bad is it" - I've just seen a fascinating TV programme on N Devon photographer James Ravilious and I reckon you could be right ;-)

Thanks for the link Magic..:)very interesting

nice to see some one else surfs with a camera to get very different shots. have a look at my page 1 & 2 but there are more.

steve111: This is scanned from a print taken on a Canon Sureshot A1, which was a great little camera but it got water in and expired on me. I've just treated myself to a 6 Mpixel waterproof digital that takes video as well. Now hoping to get back in the water this summer and shoot some surfer's eye pics again. Your surfing pics are very good.

best thing i ever did get fully water proof camera you get very different photos than sitting on the beach. good luck you are yellow stared so i will be looking out for them.

steve111: My Canon A1 Sureshot was fully waterproof until my daughter pressed the wrong button in the sea and the tide came in ;-)

back to visit this great shot and wish you a Happy New Year

LM :)

Keep laughing (and photographing) in 2009 LM ;-)

Best wishes

Love this shot. Only a surfer would fully appreciate the feeling of sitting + waiting for the next wave.

charliepants: As the old ad slogan once said - 'only a surfer knows the feeling'. Thanks for your comment.
