A lot of my shots involve that time between actually getting out of the car and getting into the water. We all know it pretty well - it's called The Surf Check. This is nice little clean swell hitting my local beachie. Photo: Dean Dampney.
People love staring at waves, because waves are beautiful. When was the last time you saw someone staring at a soccer field when there was no one running around kicking a ball? Big waves have that terrifying beauty, while small waves are just pretty and serene. Put someone on a surfboard on top of those waves, and you have a recipe for splendor. Or in this case, a recipe for 82 of them.
