I'd never taken any surfing pictures before, but the waves were big and the surfers very close from the parking lot at Morro Rock on January 11, 2008 -- I couldn't resist trying my hand. This was the day before they ran Mavericks 200 miles north at Half Moon Bay. More of my novice surfer photography from that day at http://www.pbase.com/tgrey/morrosurfing_2008 .
