This is the surfer just as he was beginning to fall. I took this photo a split second after the two photos yesterday and a split second before the photo of the empty surfboard that I showed the day before yesterday. As you can see in this photo, the surfer lost his balance and leaned back too far into the wave, catching water that slowed his momentum. As my July 2 photo showed, the surfboard continued with the forward momentum and had perfect form riding the wave, without a surfer on board.

Surfing wipe out

This is a great series of photos!
ReplyDeleteThese are all great action shots!
ReplyDeletecrash! i would not like that part unless you fall gently into the water
ReplyDeleteI just love the way the surfer seems so small in the enormous hand of the sea. We notice him, but he is meaningless to that wild and restless ocean.
ReplyDeleteLove to watch surfers. These are great!
