I flew out to CA this past weekend and took about 600 shots on Sunday and Monday. The waves were moderately good, but the wind was iffy.

Nevertheless, I had a great time and LOVED the 100-400 5.6 L USM IS lens that I rented. George's Camera in San Diego is a great source for rentals. Huge inventory and great service.

Here are some shots (all taken with this lens on the Rebel XS).

When you photograph surfing, its important to make sure your horizons are straight. Quick fix in PS or iPhoto.

Pics aren't showing. I would love to see these. I really don't understand why people don't just use image shack.
