3. I never could even get up on a surfboard, even in my younger days,

much less take photos while doing it. Thanks for sharing these. I think this guy is supernatural.

8. Shooting from the water must be hard work.

They sure do take some fantastic pics though. I bet their physical conditioning is just as good as the surfers.

I surfed for a couple of years when I lived in California and it is fun but very physically demanding. It would think it's even more demanding for someone without a board to float on lugging a camera around out there.

Many of the photos found in any issue of Surfer Magazine are just jaw dropping.

Might as well throw in a couple of good video links while I'm at it.

10. Great shots and I miss those days.

I used to own a Rick 8'10 UFO board and I wish I still had it. Tried some surfing again a couple of years ago and couldn't even get up.
Oh well.

12. I used to have a 9' Stewart Hydro Hull.

I had to have something big enough to float my wide ass. It turned pretty good for such a big board. I probably couldn't even make it outside these days if given the chance to paddle out again.
