The waves were 4-6 feet and nicely spaced, so the surfers were out in droves again yesterday. This guy was looking at the pier to make sure he wasn't too close to the pilings.

...while this fellow was looking to see if another surfer was too close. I shot both while standing at the pier's railing...about 20-25 feet above the action. Canon 5D and EF 100-400L lens.

Nice captions. I like the second one the best.

Thanks, Rooky. I didn't get too many of these shots when I was living back in Grand Prairie (TX). As you can see, the sun was setting behind the surfers, so I had to try and catch them as they went past my position, to avoid flare.

Both are awesome shots.

Nice job, Walter. My wife and I have talked about moving to HB but I don't think it's going to happen! I love that pier.
