Default Surfers During a Storm

Surfers out during Hurricane Bill. The waves weren't that big yet. Not the best images due to the bright morning sun.

Catching a few waves

Thanks for sharing these.

Catching surfers doing their thing is a tough assignment, particularly when having to factor in sunlight and distance from the subject. Given this, you have done well! I like the third as you can see the surefers facial expression
