I caught this during what was supposed to be a skim competition, but only 5-6 guys showed, so it ended up just being another fun day skimming Lido Beach, FL. :)

Nice shot. It's called a Widdly Flip. It's kind of a showboat move, that skimmers don't really give much props too. As a photographer I wish aerials were more popular, but in competition you have to keep your feet on the board when you land to score points.

1. This was not a competition.
2. He stuck the landing.
3. I, too, wish more guys did aerials.

Widdly Flip...I knew it was something different. Thanks for that. ;)

Nice! Loving the color of the water, the spray and the fact that the board is level with the horizon.
