Surf Photography Thread!

And he's thinking, "Hmm, I get paid for this."

All alone with nobody in the water. An easy evening in Ormond Beach, Florida.

Love the color of the sky

Where do you go in OC?

Wedge? Huntington?

I'd really like to give this a shot sometime this weekend.

Pat, Kevin, Butch and Eric usually shoot HB pier - with a random exception I cruise with the longboard crew from the Newport pier to 28th street jetty. Fricks (forget his real name haha) shoots the Wedge and Salt Creek.

There are lots of great breaks that really get going with a good swell, and where there are waves there are surfers! Just depending on where you are and what is closeby you can start at the bottom tip of OC and go all the way up - Trestles to Sunset Beach! The breaks that get the most attention from waves and surfers are Trestles, T-Street, Salt Creek, Strands, the Wedge when its big, Newport Pier/Blackies, all the streets in NB can fire, but 52-56 being the most intense. HB pier, HB Cliffs and then Sunset Beach.

That is a generalized but solid list I think Go to SolSpot.com or Surfline.com and select North or South OC and see where its hitting biggest!

Don't forget San O and Cottons.

And I shouldn't have forgotten Paul!! How you doing man?

I was assuming Chimp Champ was looking for some big wave/high flying action, but yes of course those are great spots as well!

And don't forget Jetty or El Porto if are in LA and you don't want to go too far.

Nice Catch of the Day.

Had my first chance in a month or so to get out in Rhode Island to snag some shots Sunday. Attemped to swim out with my waterhousing, but not being used to fins and being a heavy day I headed back and shot from the beach. Weather wasn't ideal, but there was a lot of ripping going on.

It was hazy, rainy and we had a fog roll in about an hour into shooting, but I made the best with what I had to work with.

I see some big swell coming up next weekend. Hopefully we can get some sun for it this time! I'd like a day to paddle out too, I've been shooting the last several trips out.
