Great action capture. Is this young man body surfing or is he on a buggie board? #1468665

Mr. Dennis, you have an awesome action image here. I love the variation of water color and how that 'line' leads me right to this determined boarder. What a great focused expression. The white water movement is wonderful. #10177485

Great Action shot.
I posted in the BW Club a 4 leaved Clover. I was thinking of you. Luck is part of it the rest and most important is positive attitude, and that my friend you have plenty

Yeeeeehaaaaa ARTHUR, CAROL, CARLA, DAVID & BONNIE!!!!!

Welcome one and all to the end of the breakwater on this wonderful Port winter day.

Lots of super duper thanks to you all for your combined exciting and inspiring feedback on this one.

ARTHUR: They call them "bodyboards" here in Oz and the sport is called "bodyboarding".

DAVID: Hahaha! It seems the Crèma and the breakwater are becoming my second homes. My warmest thanks for the four leafed clover. That is very thoughtful of you.

GB all.
