No worries, Mate. Actually, I meant the "6 jersey" (though it is of course really #9). The flip-flop image of an incredibly agile surfer caught my eye. It's OK. My wife seldom gets my jokes either.


Ohhhhhh sorry the joke went right over my head! OPPS!

Nice work Brent, care to share your settings, camera, etc.


Jules, I shoot with a Canon 6D with a 100-400 IS II lens. The basic setting I use is 1/1000 sec, F4.5, ISO 200
The lens is so good that I can crop with sharp results.

Excellent action shots, Brent!

The surfers in numbers 1, 5, and 9 have developed some sort of gravity defying mechanism, unless of course they ended up grubbing in the next moment after the shutter clicked.

Stan, you almost need to see a video of how the surfers defy gravity. They are moving as such a fast rate of speed that they can actually become inverted and not wipe out. All of the surfers in 1, 5 and 9 made the turns and ended up on their feet on the board. Remember, these are professionals!

Incredible surfer shots. Love the action. Wouldn’t love the crowded beach, but I understand why so many want to be there.


Sometimes it can become a zoo there with all the contest action.

As many of my UHH friends know, I LOVE to photograph surfers and also the lifestyle that surrounds the beach and the surfers. I've been looking through thousands of my archive photos and have chosen some hand picked ones that I believe you will enjoy. Since I have so many and the UHH admin has a limit of 10 photos per submission I will submit several "chapters" of these photos. These are all from my "Huntington Be


Brent these are beautiful shots "AS USUAL"!!! Make my days (1972-74) on that beach seem like yesterday. I had a great time in So. Cal. but I am glad I don't live in Calif. today. When I lived there, life was different. Not that I don't love Calif., because I always will, but life is different today.

Anyway..."These shots are GREAT...AND BRINGS BACK LOTS OF GREAT MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Thanks,
Boone.

Thanks a ton. I did try to capture the feeling of the surf contest with the photos..........but not JUST the surfers only.


I sent the photos to my son in Canada because he is a surfer, and he immediately recognized the surfers involved in your photos. He told me that the surfer in photo # 3 is one of the best in the world. Judging your excellent photo composition and shots I conclude you are also a very good sufer.

Most excellent, Brent, and a great variety. I can just hear the Surfaris, Ventures, and Beach Boys in the background.
