Yep. The expression on the North Shore is "surf of consequence". When in doubt, don't go out.

I like this shot. To surf or not surf? That is the question. :)

Really conveys his communion with the water. Nice!

Thank you, Diane. Have been admiring your photos. Amazing stuff.

An intriguing image, with the surfer so all alone and the crowd in the background - yes, summoning up his courage, but obviously liking the isolation. Nicely done, Jim.
