This was a busy surfing day at the beach. I love to go there and watch. The energy is great at the ocean.
********************
The term "surfing" refers to the act of riding a wave, regardless of whether the wave is ridden with a board or without a board, and regardless of the stance used. For instance, the native peoples of the Pacific surfed waves on alaia, paipo, and other such crafts, and did so on their bellies, knees, and feet. However, the modern day definition of surfing most often refers to a surfer riding a wave standing up on a surfboard, and this is also referred to as stand-up surfing. One variety of stand-up surfing is paddleboarding. Another prominent form of surfing in the ocean today is bodyboarding, when a surfer rides a wave either on the belly, dropknee, or sometimes standing-up on a bodyboard. Other types of surfing include knee boarding, surfmatting (riding inflatable mats), foils. Bodysurfing, where the wave is surfed without a board, using the surfer's own body to catch and ride the wave, is very common and is considered by some to be the purest form of surfing.

Love the way the shot is laid out. The waves are so white and frothy and the water laying down in front so placidly. Lovely.

Revisiting. I'm still intrigued by that amazing treatment that gives a very realistic painted effect. f. (voted earlier today).
