I'm no surfing photography expert, but I have tried surfing -- nobody would argue I am an expert there, either.

Seems that the sun was at the back of your subject, leaving them dark in the shots. You captured the action well, but maybe some post-processing can lighten up the subject?

yeah the sun was behind them :/

nice shots. are these crops or the full image? how far out was the break?

[rockabilly808]

full image and i'd say the break was maybe 50-70 yards from where i was shooting.

Looks pretty good but without faces it's hard to have a strong surf image. What beach were you shooting on?
