I couldn't believe the parents let there kids go out. The storm never came over but it looked real bad out.

Thanks for looking

Frank

Great shots Frank, I think the smart ones were the ones coming in. Love the angle on the last shot.

i was honestly thinking along the lines of windrider...a big fin in the water would really add to the drama...but good shot and im glad everyone was ok.

Great shots - that first one looks like there is a big big wave on its way. Cheers, Bernz
