Thanks Nigel. Wake boarding is common here in Florida where there really aren't much in the way of 'waves'. They are smaller than surfboards, light, and don't have a main keel fin - you jump on them in the flats of the breaking waves, and either ride parallel to shore, or like this gentleman, ride them out into the breaking waves.
Great shot - composition and stop-motion both effective. Not sure I've ever seen wake boarding - I'll resist the temptation to make any of the obvious jokes. Nigel
