A Break in the Action

I spotted this surfer coming in with his board broken in two. We've been under a high surf advisory and it can get pretty rough out there. Luckily he seemed to be OK, but I overheard him saying it was his favorite board. Not such a great way to end the day.

At least it wasn't his body that was broken. Looks like somebody is still up in the distance.

Very nice shot with a good sense of story.

It must take a powerful hit to break a board. He's lucky that he is walking.

That must have been some wave action. Good picture

Wow, that's pretty shocking! A great capture, though, and I like that surfer with an intact board out in the distance.

A great story telling image, Nick. What boards made of these days? ~BV~
Jim Coffman11-Oct-2018 13:36
Whoa, what a pity! I'm sure these boards aren't cheap.
Beautiful light for this image...
