Surfing Seaside

The surf was up yesterday at our local break, but the fog was in which made it impossible to get surfing shots with those characteristic bold colors. That's no reason to stop shooting the action though. Under these conditions I find that switching to good ol' black and white does the trick. Seaside Cardiff State Beach, CA.

You catch the action always and monochrome has its own magic. "VV"

Super action shot. I think the B&W makes it easier to focus on the surfer, his moves and expression.
