A shot I took recently of a buddy body boarding on a wicked little beach break 'somewhere' near Canggu just got voted as Worldwide Photo of the Day over on one of the biggest surf websites out there, Magic Seaweed.
Happy with that one.
Cheers,
Mark.
Great picture
The wave seems to crash very near to the beach and very shallow. Not a beginner wave probably?
Is that Ketewel or Gianyar Lebih?
Good shot and seeing the break, not much room for error.
Cheers guys,
That's a shore break, it slams onto the black sand with quite a bit of force. 1m3 of seawater = 1 metric Tonne! Ouch. The thickness of the wedge can be seen at the base of the wave. These things can, and do, lift you off the bottom of the sand, lying there trying to get out of it's way and throw you like a rag doll over the top of the wave onto the sand. I got a nice scar on my right hip from sand abrasion on this very spot a few days after this one was shot. Love the energy of the hobby though.
Cheers,
Mark.
very nice i will have to go check that place out
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
* with surfshots the golden rule is ... tell no one where the location is
..., let them discover the place themselves .
..., nice photograph BTW
