Fun, Small Florida Waves

[bobbyv]

I grew up fishing and surfing near Marineland, FL, between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach. This weekend featured two days of fun, clean waves. I got out of the water in time to get a few shots with the 500/4, handheld.

1. I don't know this guy but he was getting lots of waves.

Wondrful shoots and glad you got a chance to get some waves.
Back in 71/72 when I lived in Winter Park I use to go to Cocoa and surfed the south side of Canaveral Pier. That was when Ron Jon’s was just a small surf shop. Loved those clean and glassy 3-4 ft days.

It's time again to mount the 200-500mm on my camera and go to Nazare again.

Now I'm jealous

Thanks. The Cocoa Beach area got slightly bigger surf than we did because of the swell direction. I still drive down there to surf when the water gets colder.

Great action shots.

Thanks Allan. It's that lens! (going to DeSoto this weekend, I'll let you know how it is)

Thanks. That was one of the cleaner looking waves that afternoon.

Nice images.
These are pretty good waves for Florida. Where ever I go, it is usually pretty flat.
