  The 2003 Boost Mobile Pro was exciting and included glassy surf with some great 3rd round pairings.

 

STRATEGY:

Magazines rarely publish surfers riding on 1-5' waves . Boring. My strategy is to shoot from down the beach with the longest lens. The downside is the extra mist from the waves and atmosphere that will degrade the sharpness of the image. 

          

 DETAILS:

All images taken with manual 1,200 mm F11 lens at F16 on ISO 400 negative film.
