awesomeness

Thank you so very much!! It was a tough day to shoot....overcast all day and big sets were far and few to come by.

Santa Cruz in March, I’m going to Yosemite the third week of March, Thinking about going to Santa Cruz on Friday and Saturday (3/24 & 3/25).
How’s the surf that time of year?
Is 70-200 F2.8 to short for surf?
Is there a skim scene?

Wasn’t going to watch the Super Bowl, so I headed down to Big Rock and Windansea in San Diego, CA. Not many surfers out, but a nice afternoon anyway.

i'm in socal, march is traditionally the windiest month down here so i'd sure be wondering about it up there.

on the other hand, the way that weather has been on the west coast the last few years, it's hard to predict.

Went over to Steamers yesterday (2/22/23) as the rest of the week is going to be bad weather (rain, snow, wind). The wind was definitely howling (gust of 20kts+) and the only really ride-able waves were in the wind shadow of the cliffs. Anywhere else it was too choppy to ride (in addition to getting blown off your board). However, in the wind shadow, the waves were up to double overhead.

Really quick wave

Beautiful morning at Windansea, Big Rock and Little Point beaches (San Diego) today. Water temperature was 60 degrees F. No wetsuit, I don't think so!

Nearly no board shorts either!

For those with R cameras, are you shooting in mechanical or electronics shutter? I currently use a 7D2 for surf stuff and looking to go mirrorless for that part of my business. I have an R3 and 2 R6 but I want to keep them off the sand so I haven't tried one yet. Looking at the R10 or R7. Thoughts?

I don't think I even have one single mechanical shutter actuation on either of my r5 nor r3.

My R3 is the same but my R6 shows it on stick and ball sports sometimes. I figure it's not an issue with surfing but just want to make sure. The 7D2 is still holding on but its getting up there in actuations and I figure I will be needing to dump it soon.

dumped my 7d2 best thing I ever did
