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
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.
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 ;-)
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.

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

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

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