US Open Surfer 9460 - a photo on Flickriver

            Here's one from midweek of the week-long US Open of Surfing. It was challenging, to say the least:  Challenging for the surfers as they were served up big messy waves from the effects of Hurricane Frank, and challenging light for me as the intermittent sun was at a 10 or 11 o'clock direction here to the left. But I thought you might enjoy a taste of SoCal beach life. This fellow is at the start of an aerial 360. He's gonna make it all the way around.

I've been photographing surfers occasionally for decades, usually right here off the Huntington Beach pier. What's cool is you can kinda walk out on the pier to where the waves are breaking and get some pretty good views, although obviously elevated. Light on the other side of the pier was better on the local surfers. Ya takes what they gives ya.
