Hi Tirol and a warm welcome to DPS and what a way to start. This is just an amazing capture, so much power in that breaking wave. I sure wouldn't have wanted to be there but you were and it paid off. I look forward to seeing more of your photographs.

Dave.

If you make it through a situation like that unijured, it's an unbelievable experience.

Well done. The power of that wave is intimidating.
