G’day Rest,
I caught this bloke as he was flashing along the wall, going into a roll. What the dudes call this move I don’t know.
Many thanks for your interest mate.

Awesome capture. You have some excellent bodyboard photos. Well done.

G’day Bill,
Good to see you at the end of the breakwater watching these dudes in action and that you have spotted this wall hugging bodyboarder.
Many thanks for your flattering remark and your most encouraging “Awesome…” wrap for this salty effort.
Poor conditions for most of the past year have given me only one day’s worth of shooting so I live in hope. 8-)

Many thanks for your most encouraging “Brilliant…” wrap for this salty effort.
The wave was quite long and held up well so this young fella got his money’s worth. 8-)

It certainly is a great spot to photograph these dudes but only when the tide and the break is just right. Very slim pickings there so far this year. 8-)
