I bet they won't be so friendly.

I worked with his mom for years (still see her around town) and knew him before he grew up. He took sixth in China (2008) but this year we're hoping he gets in the top three. Thank you.

Thanks, but that's him, not me. FWIW: You can surf anywhere there's a large body of water: Ireland, Russia, the Great Lakes, Alaska, Alabama.... almost anywhere. Someone mentioned using the images you take commercially. That's the law with anyone's image. If I take a picture of some lady at the park and make a billboard out of it I can be sued. Thank you.

The laws on the commercial use of images differs from country to country, for example there is no legal requirement for model realise forms in the UK. Wrong in some sense, you need a model release if you are going to use it for commercial reasons. And if the model is under 18, a parent or guardian has to sign the release regardless if used for non-/commercial reasons

Your source has got their facts mixed up. "Images, video and sound recordings of the Games taken by a Ticket Holder cannot be used for any purpose other than for private and domestic purposes and a Ticket Holder may not license, broadcast or publish video and/or sound recordings, including on social networking websites and the internet more generally." Note that the prohibition against Facebook posting specifically mentions the publication of video and/or sound. No mention of images, which are specifically prohibited in the first part.

And no I don't think it's enforceable. That lawyer would be wrong given the actual wording on the conditions of the ticket and rules put in blace by security. Most likely this is a lawyer the media found who was willing to com eon television to create controversy. (as if that never happens.)

Most surfers have not yet completely commoditized everything about themselves. They still seem like real people for the most part and not a product. It's refreshing. I hope surfing never gets so big that it goes away as a someone that grew up in the water.

I'm afraid to eat them anymore. They lost our business after the whole pink slime affair. We generally eat organic meat anyway, along with organic everything else (as much as we can). http://www.snopes.com/food/prepare/msm.asp MikeFairbanks wrote in post #14727354 ![]() I was able to bring "pro" gear to Turner field and shoot pictures of the Braves. I ended up deleting all the photos anyway as they were pretty crappy photos. I am sure you were. I was as well. The point still stands and so do the rules. Just because someone does not enforce the stadium's rules does not mean that is not the rule. I guarantee someone will be able to go to an Olympic event with a dSLR and take pictures. Not every security guy is going to care... he doesn't get extra money if he stops someone. MikeFairbanks wrote in post #14727354 ![]() But in the end, that's why I like professional surfing. It's the only sport in the world in which attendance is free, you mingle with the professionals (although they do get a VIP area to escape the autograph-seeking kids and girls), and you can actually surf with them before and after each day's competition. Nobody stops you from shooting using any gear you want and you can do whatever you want with the photos. And guess what: The tour is still growing in sponsorship dollars. MikeFairbanks wrote in post #14727354 ![]() Very few people can actually say, "I know what it's like to play in the Superbowl," but anybody with a surfboard can paddle out at twelve-foot Pipeline and find out exactly what it's like to ride those waves. And even cooler is the fact that these guys never say no to a kid's autograph or a geek like myself asking to take a photo. I can't compete with the free aspect but the rest I think you should come to a Grand-Am Rolex race. Yes you will spend ~50 dollars for 4 days of access but the cars, crew and drivers are just out and about. I have yet to see one turn down a photo. This includes people like Patrick Dempsey who races an RX-8. They are all friendly. Halston - MotorSports Photographer

That may be for racing (I know nothing about pro racing) but it's honestly not like that for surfing (at least in CA and HI). It's just not that interesting for enough people to come just for a meet and greet. The same number of folks would attend whether or not you could talk to the surfers minus a tiny %. Talking to them is just an added bonus. Much smaller community I think than racing.
