The Surfer

This surfer's name is Matt and he is among the best of the surfers at Seaside. He regularly competes in tournaments for the Encinitas Board Riders. I usually follow the golden rule of sports/action photography that states "No Face No Photo", but this time I really liked the dramatic pose and the mystery that the hair dangling over his face introduced. And what the heck- rules are meant to be broken right!

like a high energy ballet...the spreading hair echoes the wave spray to multiply the dynamism of the moment...V

Reminds me of a that symphony conductor pose we often see. If this is what you get from breaking rules, keep up the good work. V

Excellent action photo. V

His hair might be more dramatic than his face! Love the motion of the water you captured as well.
