Back in the Day

This is an old one.  It was one of my first successful water shots and it is still one of my favorites for the lighting and sense of wide-open space.  A friend and I drove up to this spot and sat in the car on the beach waiting patiently for the winds to switch.  Finally just before dark the winds turned offshore and we quickly suited up and got on it.  This was the only wave I photographed before the sun slipped behind the hills; but I had a good feeling we had gotten the shot. I swam back to the beach, grabbed my board from the car and enjoyed a few waves before dark.  

  

The shot ended up running as a poster for LX Eyewear.
