Super set there Chris. Three palms, three surfers. Nice.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Nice set. I think you were running out of steam when it came to naming the last. How about the Dali-esque, "Surfboards Reflecting Aeroplanes"?

 

[Pete Askew]

Bombers on the Beach!

The shadow on the left is like The Angel Of The North...

Chris, is that you stealing someone else's photo: Old School. Looks like they are posing for another photographer. Have you no ethics?!

 

[Pete Askew]

Either that or they're thinking, "Whoa man, must get me one of them cool bikes!".

 

[Dave Cawley]

Any girls there ?

Not enough ethics to pass up a photo op - the 3 old timers were indeed posing for someone else - but by the time I got front-side them broke pose and headed off!

You should try Mr Moore's tactic. "Oh, look at that wonderfully photogenic oil drum. Damn, that scantily clad young woman has walked straight in front just as I pressed the shutter!".

Thanks Julian - the beach walk ended up at Swamis, which is one of the top surf breaks on the West Coast, and provides an excellent wave for longboard surfers.

Swami's (surfing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Even on an average day you'll find surfers on the water - on a day with a good swell it gets packed.

Here's a shot at Swamis, with a winter storm kicking-in
