Surfing with OCPhotographics and StryderPhoto

[Eli]

Eli did great out there today with Scott aka Stryderphoto giving her pointers and she actually stayed out a long time. I sat just in front of both of them with the GoPro and will be posting a few pics of the day as Eli mentioned. Going through the photos now.

Did you get my open mouth water tumble?

I'm not THAT crazy...I was wearing a wetsuit. I was a drunk seal trying to put it on, fell over and even put it on backwards. thankfully, there are no pictures of that.

I was surprised that it wasn't cold at all with the wetsuit on. I have a wetsuit selfie I may post in the wee hours of the night lol

It's a fun sport, just stick it out and you'll do just fine. When you get tired of that salt water there is a river waiting for you. My favorites surf spots were Salt Creek and Brook St. both in Laguna. Enjoy The Rides...

How different is it from wakeboarding?

Surfing is much more stable than wakeboarding do to the size of the boards and fins, you can also do alot more tricks on a wakeboard. The surfboard that I'm using in the video is a 5'9" quad fin, behind the boat it works great but It's too small for me if I were to surf with it in the ocean.

Here are a few pics from Saturday (surfing with Eli and Stryderphoto aka Scott) and a few from my adventures on Sunday. I have ALWAYS wanted to shoot from the water and get some cool barrel shots, and "Wise Ass" once told me "to get barrel shots you first have to get into the barrel", well I did and this would explain why I am soooooo sore today. Feels like I was beat with a few baseball bats, hit by cay, kicked by a horse an then rolled down a rocky hill. Ahhh, but it's a good pain and ready to do it again! I thought surfing was a work out, but swimming and treading water with no float for a couple hours wiped me out!! Let me know what ya think of the pics. Still have a few really nice full on in the barrel photos, but wanted to save those for last.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll give it a try if the opportunity presents itself. I'm still working on how to say "no" to adventures

These are not flattering pictures, but I had so much fun and OCPhotographics spent the entire day taking pictures so I have to share.
