This Easter while visiting family i tried to get in as much surf action as i could but the sea was not very surf friendly and light for photography was awful
These were taken in the moth of the Hayle estuary Cornwall UK

Really like how you've managed to have a background in 2 and 1

Simply great action grabs in the rest. Well Done!

these are great pictures!

I tried wind surfing once, I will never try it again. It's very difficult
