Christopher, this is by far one of the best surfing pictures I have ever seen - how you managed to get the chopper to appear motionless while showing the action of the surfer and backspray of the waves amazes me.
I hiked through a sugarcane field and pineapple field for an hour past burnt out cars all by myself (kinda scary actually) lol .. in hopes of finding that place..and I did... and it was magical..
Love that you were able to catch someone surfing and the helicopter.. Perfect!!! Was going off the day I was there too..but no surfers for the couple of hours I spent hanging out hoping...
that is SO AWESOME!! when I lived in Honolulu, I had heard about 'Jaws.' and when I saw a photo of someone surfing it, I was in total awe. I just wish I could have made it to Maui to see it for myself.
BTW... let me be the first to say, Welcome to DPC! :D
What a spectacular photo!!!! I can't imagine what you must have entered in the Action challenge -- or stop motion if you are posting one this fabulous here! WOW!!!!
