Full zip sweater has high, reinforced collar and cuffs with thumb holes. The back is longer to avoid gaps, and the collar has the Woolpower logo knitted in.
This could be a real photograph, due to the dredged out 100ft channels right next to 4ft reef/sandbottom.... But if it were real, New York has thousands of surfers. Someone from New York please comment. Does this freak wave really exist?????????? We need verification!!!!!
if you need verification check page A5 of Saturday, Oct 24, 2009's Newsday . . . or you can check here:

beautiful photo. i was out that day and have some less artistic shots of the two 47' mlb's charging the waves. it was double overhead plus with the odd set flirting with triple. a guy was towing in right beside the CG boats, which gave the whole scene a circus-like quality.
It's called "foreshortening". However, I was also shooting photos and the boat was plowing right through that peak. That's no trick of the camera or photoshop.
that's the term, thank you. Is that the case here? Pretty impressive training regime, can't see our own RNLI doing anything equal to that [although they're still very much appreciated], am I wrong?
they probably have to do this type of training at some stage in the bigger boats but for rescues in breaking water they'd send out a small RIB which in easier to keep in a head on position
Pretty sure it's a 57' not a 43'. The USCG had a 44" which was a very nice boat. I was stationed out at Manasquan in the mid 80's. It looks like it says "Montauk" on the stern so I'd assume it's out of USCG station Montauk NY.
The idea is they "can" roll, but unless you're at the training center going in and out of the Columbia river, you try real hard not to roll. That said id does take a lot to roll one.
Thanks for the look guys . . . On this morning there was actually two of these 43 foot USCG boats out heavy water training . . . Each boat had about 6 crew members strapped into the bridge. No they weren't in a hurry to go anywhere. The coxswains were actually backing the boats up to the rocks and hanging out waiting for the sets to come and then they would either charge off the side of the peak or straight through it . . .

class photo. But it doesn't look like they're charging anywhere in a hurry, I think the wave is a lot further away than it looks... there's a photographers term for it, escapes me right now. Anyway, still a great shot
In this context I think the suggestion that the shot was "photoshopped" is probably one of the most flattering things a person could say . . . Irish surf girl I thank you for that. Cheers-
