This shot was taken on the west side of Waimea Bay. You typically don't see Waimea from this angle. Funny thing is this photo was taken in mid summer, which is normally flat on the North Shore of Oahu. There was a 'small' swell and a lot of sand built up on the beach so the end result was this shorebreak with a lot of backwash.

What I think makes the shot is the guy preparing for impact and the the two kids casually taking off for a good bodywhompin'. When I look at this photo I always put myself in the shoes of the unlucky guy preparing for a good pounding. Not to worry he survived, but promptly exited the water!

Mark Brown, Waimea Bay, North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii

RadXCor1045 days ago +4 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
Dude in #5 looks like he's about to bury his nose in 3 feet of sand. I've had a similar experience with a break over a sandbar. I was afraid my board was gonna be snapped in half so I kicked it away and took the punishment. Needless to say, the taste of sand stayed with me for a week.

#14 The Cribbar on form. You can tell it's gonna hurt and with wipeouts like that at the peak you get that awful sort of lull as you fall down the face, hit the trough and wait just a moment for the wave to collapse on you.

fhflipper1102 days ago -1 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative

WoodyWoodsta1105 days ago +17 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
What is so weird about this shot is that you cannot see any of the guy's skin (because of the wetsuit of cause) and just black. He looks like a ninja gone clumsy. Excellent shot!!!
